California Air Tools CAT-1P1060S Light & Quiet Portable Air Compressor, Silver

Amazingly quiet. (Make sure you put the muffler air filter on... pretty quiet even without it, but what a difference when it is installed). Pretty small though I wish the handle is removable for even lower profile, and the pressure valve is the pull-to-adjust, push-to-lock type. Very satisfy right from the start, the next is it’s longevity. :) Quickly fill from 0-125psi, then stops. Leaks air gradually and then hold steady at 8KG/cm2 for 12min and counting. Looking good I’d say. I’d give full stars if the unit is made same dimension as the smallest measure for people with limited storage space. (Shrink the handle/protection cage further) Afterthoughts: (few uses after) Still great and quiet unit. Perfect for condo users. But if space is not a concern, get a bigger tank unit. I use it as air blower to clean dust off equipment and it lasts only briefly on continuous blowing. (But footprint is a concern for me so I have to adjust). I left 90psi in the tank over night intentionally and after 10 hours it is still the same. Very satisfied.

OK, este compresor es para el artista de aerografo, el carpintero con el compresor dañado o con la necesidad de moverse o el detallista automotriz, incluso para el técnico en reparación de electrónicos. Es una compresora extremadamente silenciosa con un tanque tan pequeño que no proporciona una presión constante por un largo tiempo. No sé si se pueda conectar un tanque adicional más grande, eso dependerá del ciclo de trabajo del compresor, hasta el momento he barnizado una puerta de madera cuya superficie es mayormente vidrio y el esqueleto de madera, me funcionó de maravilla pero si noté un decremento de presión al finalizar cada capa.

My voice in a normal conversational tone is 80DB. This CAT-1P1060S runs at 75DB, which is more than the advertised 56DB. Honestly, I did not believe the 56DB claim as my new 17 seer heat pump fan in my house makes 65DB and it is not loud at all so I doubted this compressor would be more quiet than my HVAC fan motor. Being that it is quieter than the spoken voice I am thrilled. I always hated the traditional pancake compressors that run close to 100DB on a good day as they make a work site louder than it needed to be. What I used to do is run my loud mechanic's compressor I have on my 2003 7.3L diesel F350 service truck to power my carpentry air tools, but that obviously used diesel at $3.50/gallon and I had to run a 150' to 200' long 3/8" air line to get the air inside the house where I needed it. With this compressor, I enjoy leaving Betsy (my truck's name) in the driveway turned off and I simply grab this tiny CA compressor. It is super light, which is very nice! It is compact so I can stow it inside my behind-the-cab truck box with plenty of room for other tools so it is always ready to use. On job sites without power, (which are few and far between) I use my 4000w pure sine wave inverter that is wired to my truck's electrical system, which requires I run the engine to prevent dead batteries (7.3 diesels needs gobs of battery power to start). I just use a 100' or 200' long 12AWG extension cord from the inverter to the job site with a short 50' long 3/8" pneumatic hose in the area I am working. I only use my truck compressor now to run my mechanic's tools such as impact guns and the like as they require tons of air supply, much more than any carpentry tool will ever need. I absolutely love this California CAT-1P1060S compressor.

Si bien es menos ruidoso que otros compresores es más ruidoso de lo que esperaba, me gusta que la presión la mantiene constante y el automático funciona de maravilla y es muy compacto, lo único malo es que no puedo trabajar muy noche por el ruido, por lo demás muy bien

Every bit as quiet as advertised.
