California Air Tools CAT-4710SQ 4710Sq Quiet Compressor Gray 4.7 gallons

Love this air compressor! It is whisper quiet and charges fast! Its not heavy to me however look at the specs before you buy. This is a big upgrade over the pancake air compressor I had before. I expect to have it for years to come.

I had senco air compressor and it was good then I got this and its awesome

The quiet setting is as advertised - purrrrrrrrrrs. This is really great. I have a Portal Cable 1 gal comp and it was so freaking noisey!! It pumped out a meager .2 cfm. This 4.7 gal comp puts out 2 cfm at 90 psi x 10 times more.. For the size, this a good!

Love my new compressor. QUIET! Fills up fast. no leaks. A BIG improvement over my last, loud compressor. Very happy with the purchase.

I had a pancake model...I think 4 gallon. It would power on and make me jump. While running it would rotate in a cirxle wrapping up the cord. The it finally stopped building pressure and I had to replace it. I turned this one on and thought it was in some typr of pre-operating mode and waited for it to the kick in. It didnt because that is how quiet this actually was. It didnt vibrate in a circle either. Pressure built up nice and really impressed with this. I got this because of the lifespan and quietness while still having power.

Quiet as compressor go; leak-free. Good warranty. Top shroud to air filter interference - had to enlarge the slot slightly.

If you are weary of the eardrum-lacerating racket of pancake compressors (and who isnt), do yourself a major favor and move on to this unit. It is every bit as quiet as claimed, and this makes for a huge improvement to the work environment. Another point against the pancake units: quality control has not been great in recent years. Despite the prestige of the brand, two Porter-Cable pancake compressors of mine both developed leaks and other problems that were difficult/impossible to correct satisfactorily. Forget about getting real customer service, alas. By contrast, everything about this compressor speaks quality. Do be aware that the unit is about ten pounds heavier than a pancake compressor. But Ill take that trade every day in return for the dramatic noise reduction. Youre also getting a larger tank here, meaning less cycling. To improve mobility, simply replace the stock rubber feet with a good set of locking casters. Im replacing many power tools based on a reduced noise factor. Goodbye gas blowers and trimmers, hello 40V electrics. What a difference! The assault on ears has continued for far too long. And the menace is serious, with lifetime consequences potentially involved.

Very quiet! I can bring this into a home environment to work with and not worry it will disturb the homeowner.

This thing is so much better than my old loud compressor. It’s so much quieter and fills faster. I highly recommend this unit if you are a regular home owner and have an old school super loud compressor that you occasionally use. I’m impressed by this unit and thought it was well priced. Make sure to buy the hose attachment with it as it doesn’t include one which is fine.

Not as portable as those pancake compressors but a powerhouse of continuous air flow and a completely different class when it comes to the noise. I have not tried bringing it up from the basement workshop yet for other projects but I have used it extensively in my workshop and you do not feel like you probably should get the ear protection on like with my old pancake style compressor. Bigger tank, double pistons, larger motor, less on/off cycling, less noise, cool running. Overall a great purchase for me. The only negatives, size and weight are proportional to the power but manageable. It it portable but I may never move it, maybe I will look onto getting a portable tank for filling the cars tires.
