    • Excellent for my purposes; ordered 2
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
My AC arrived today. Having read every review before ordering, and with some anticipation, I first checked the condition of the external box and it looked in good condition. The box inside was the actual CAT’s box and it looked new and also good condition. Opening that internal box I found all of the parts expected and the AC itself in excellent condition—-no scratches, no dings, no blemishes, no imperfection or worrisome cracks—-nothing; the entire contents looks perfect. Welds at the ends of the tanks look perfect. I decided to spend a little more and get the aluminum tank over the steel tank for 2 reasons: rust-free and lighter. OK; on to assembly—-Easy attaching the wheels, but I added lock washers to make the bolts more secure. No problem attaching front foot rubber bumper. I attached the air filter, hand-tight as the manual instructs (yes; some people actually *do* read manuals! :-) ) There is a short plastic hose that attaches to the air filter but it ended up pointing vertically upward. That did not seem like a good position for it to be in. I began to bend the tube and attach some duck tape so that it was at least somewhat horizontal until I discovered that the cover to the air filter could easily be removed and rotated so that the hose ended up pointing almost vertically downward = much better solution (no tape needed.) Plugged it in and turned it on. Almost jumped back as a habit to my extremely noisy and annoying old pancake AC—-but no! It is much quieter. I would not say that it is “ultra quiet”, but the sound level is very acceptable—even pleasant! I checked for leaks, again as directed by the manual, using a soapy water spray bottle. I found no leaks anywhere—-and I checked every possible location: valves, cables, connectors, guages—-everything. I also checked the tightness of all the bolts—-all were fine. It is a bit odd, the orientation of the 2 pressure gauges: the tank guage being read from the side and the regulator guage being read from the top. No biggie, but I might install a 45 or 90 degree angled connector on the tank guage. I did that with my old compressor and it was then much more convenient reading the guage. Many reviewers say that they found some components to be too fragile—-especially the regulator. I am not sure I would agree with that. On the other hand my AC will remain stationary in the corner of my garage for the vast majority of the time, using a long hose reel. So I am not worried about breaking anything on the AC. If you are going to be transporting this a lot you might want to read the other reviews. Overall I am very pleased with this AC initially. If it lasts 3-5 years I will consider it an excellent purchase. Easily 5 stars for my purposes. I ordered a second one. ... show more

    • Probably the smallest of the 'real' air compessors
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
This is a petite little thing - the picture makes it seem larger than it is. One person can pick it up by the handle without too much trouble, and the aluminum tank helps with that. I selected it because I didn't want to be draining nasty rust-water out of it after use, but the light weight is a nice benefit. It arrived well-packaged and damage-free. It's double-boxed in sturdy cardboard, and Styrofoam inserts cradle the compressor very well. Setup was a snap - attach the wheels and rubber foot, screw on the included air filter hand-tight, and it's ready to go. It was leak-free and functional out of the box. It's small size wound up making it a perfect fit for our crowded garage, and it is a huge upgrade from the 1-gallon portable-style compressor we've been using. Not only was the portable unit slow, it was really noisy as well. True to other reviews, this compressor is pleasantly quiet - it's about like having someone in the room with you speaking at normal volume. You can hear it, sure, but it's quite easy to stand next to and have a normal conversation. And at 8 times the capacity, the difference from the little portable unit is night and day. I'm super happy with the purchase. Don't expect heavy industrial service from it, but it's the perfect little garage or home shop unit. Unequivocal 5 stars. ... show more

    • VERY quiet and light compressor.
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
This is a great little compressor. If you are used to "normal" compressors, you won't believe how quiet this thing is. You can carry on a normal conversation with someone while standing next to it. And the aluminum version is quite lightweight. I mean it IS a larger compressor so it isn't a feather, but with reasonable strength you can pick it up an carry it with no problem. The only "ding" I would give it is that the handle is too short which makes it awkward to wheel around because you have to stoop while walking. I am 5' 11" and if I grab the handle and stand erect the entire compressor comes off the floor. When I'm in a hurry I just lift it off the floor and carry it one handed. An ideal situation would be an extendable handle of some kind. Lastly, out of the box the compressor did show a very slow leak somewhere. Overnight it lost about 1/2 of its air. Likely a fitting just needs to be tightened. I still rate this a 5 star, though, because the quietness and relative portability of the compressor are outstanding. ... show more

Very quiet, good quality compressor. This has a quick recovery time compared to others of similar size. Nice and lightweight with the aluminum tank.

    • Quiet and plenty of power.. did I mention it's Quote too
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
This was my first air compressor, and I wasn’t sure if the California Air Tools 8010A would fit my needs—but it absolutely did. It’s impressively quiet, which was a huge plus, and easy to move around thanks to the lightweight aluminum tank and wheels. I mainly used it to undercoat my 2011 Tundra with WoolWax, and it had plenty of power to get the job done without struggling. The oil‑free design is convenient, and it feels well built and reliable. For anyone on the fence or buying their first compressor, this one is a great choice and more capable than I expected. ... show more

    • Quiet and Lots of Air
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
So if your buying this for a air brush this review will help out,, I went from a harbor freight oil less air compressor to this California air compressor. My harbor freight air compressor ran all the time and was very noisy. This air compress isn't silent but its allot less noisy then my H/F compressor and the bonus is once it reaches 100 psi it shuts off and that is allot of air brush time before it calls for air again. its a 8 gal air tank. One thing this compressor is missing is a water trap I installed one and glad I did because even though there is a water bleed valve on the bottom it still puts a little water in the air its sending to the air brush so install a water trap. Also I wish it would have had fitting for a air brush it doesn't come with any and that is a task of getting the right fitting to make it adapt to a air brush. The front rubber foot needs to be improved to a better design. also I am pretty sure it can be made quieter by installing a better front foot on the compressor. Its definitely worth the money, but you can tell its china made, the off and on switch seems very cheap. Over all I am happy with the purchase. I personally don't think it could run air tools for like a mechanic. This is perfect for air brushing. I bought the aluminum tank and seems of good quality. probably the cheapest air compressor you can buy with a large air storage tank you can buy for air brushing. ... show more

    • Quietest Air Compressor Ever
Style: 8 Gallon Aluminum, Wheels
Bought this small compressor for my workshop and I was blown away. The compact size is great because most of my tools are cordless so I rarely need large amounts of air. My old husky compressor was so loud it would shake the whole building, when this turns on you can barely hear it, easily the best feature of this compressor. The aluminum build is also useful to keep this lightweight. For $250 this compressor is perfect ... show more
