First Review More To Come
By Gcross762

Review Posted 09/19/2024
Just a first review. Im a pro-technician of 40yrs in automotive.
One review I read the reviewer gave a one star cause the handle was too low. Im 6?" and dont have a problem pulling it across the floor without bending over hardly at all.
Wow. Thats quiet. When I got it, I put it together and fired it up in the living room. Wife was impressed as well.
Shipping. That was quick. Ordered in the morning of 9/17/24 at my door 9/19/24. The actual eta when orderd was 23-27.
I filled the tank with air and drained it several times with rest time of 10 minutes. Not too bad for the intent of this running my waste oil furnace that needs 2.5cfm@10psi.
As time progresses I will update the review if any bad things happen. So far on first use its great. Only negitive I have is even though the unit is doubled boxed the styrofoam was damaged that secures the opposite end of the controls. No big deal but that can lead to a potential unit damage I was lucky.

Good But Mine Had An Issue..
By Nathan M.

Review Posted 08/16/2024
Good compressor, my second from California Air Tools. My issue with this one is the quality control, the first week of using it it started to hiss and leak air from the threads just below where the gauges screw onto the tank. Had to rotate and tighten that so now instead of the air cord coming off the side of the tank it points diagonally off the "front corner" of the compressor. But won't rotate far enough to be pointed straight forward. A little frustrating considering I purchased it brand new from the manufacturer. Very quiet and not too heavy to lift and move around.

I don't have to worry about offending the neighbors with loud compressor sounds. This allows me to work a little later if need be. It has come in handy when my wife returns late from work and her tire pressure warning is going off in her car. I can check her tires and we both sleep well.

Absolutely wonderful and works as it should. Crazy how quiet it is as advertised but I was not looking for quiet but you can talk on your phone when it’s running. Zero complaints as of probably at least running it for at least 27 semi tires repair and reflating

Great Little Compressor
By Glen S
California
Purchased 04/20/2023 |
Review Posted 05/12/2023
Although I have had tis compressor for a short time, I am very impressed with the quality and design. I absolutely love how quiet it is as a replacement for my old 20 gallon model, which could be heard throughout the house even with all the doors closed. With this compressor I can stand right next to it and carry on a conversation without raising my voice. I no longer needed a high volume unit because all my air tools are nailers, which use only short bursts of air. It will also do a fine job of inflating tires, even though it will have to cycle in the process. I am looking forward to many years of service from this unit.
