    • Cool, quiet and good quality!
Style: Steel Tank w/Control Panel Size: 1 Gallon Color: Silver
Boy this thing is quiet. True, you are not going to forget it is there, but the average polite conversation isnt going to be disrupted by it either even it is sitting at your feet. FWIW, I use this at an SMD rework station for blow-off, drying, and powering small air tools where it has replaced my little DeWalt pancake unit. When the DeWalt kicked-on, I’d always flinch and often turn my head away from the noise. No more! This fact alone made this a worthwhile purchase for me. This compressor has a very pleasing “putt-putt-putt” sound, unlike the obnoxious “braaaaaap!!!” of other units, yet the air output is impressive for such a small unit. As other reviewers have mentioned, it only takes 60 seconds to fill from empty, and 15 seconds to refill itself to the cutoff pressure (~120 psi). Although my use case is pretty specific, I can definitely see where this unit would be a good fit for air brushing or powering a trim/brad nailer. And of course it will handle the usual tasks like inflating bike tires, car tires, athletic equipment, and levitating random sleeping cats (KIDDING!). Perhaps the biggest “like” (other than being so quiet) is the portability factor. Im guessing it is about 35-ish lbs which means even an over-the-hill duffer like me can pick it up and take it to where it is needed without needing medical attention afterwards. Its actually pretty well balanced. Hefting it up to the tailgate of my truck did not evoke any colorful language from my back. :) All in all this is a very impressive little compressor without any visible downsides. It is well-built, runs cool and is basically a steal at this price. If you need quiet, portable air in small quantities, you will love this thing. 5 stars. Update: July 19, 2020: When I went to throw the box away, something in the bottom rattled. Hmmm... Curious! Further investigation revealed an intake muffler. Wait... what? So I installed it. This means that when I wrote the review above, it DIDNT HAVE THE INTAKE SILENCER ON! After installing the silencer, its even quieter. You can listen to music or talk on the phone while this thing is running. Unreal! I use this compressor every day and it really deserves six stars. It sits beside my rework bench and just purrs along. Love it! ... show more

    • Light weight and only 75DB. Runs all of my pneumatic carpentry tools
Style: Steel Tank Size: 1 Gallon Color: Silver
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. ... show more

    • Jeep air flow clean. Check filter regularly and drain any moisture.

    • Quiet, compact
Style: Steel Tank Size: 1 Gallon Color: Silver
It works great at my work. I use it for occasional stapler use. The tank is small, so maybe not best option for large jobs. I use it for maybe 24 staples at a time, so it only kicks on once during that process. And it is quiet and maintenance free, except for draining tank condensation.

    • Very Quite but . . .
Style: Steel Tank w/Control Panel Size: 1 Gallon Color: Silver
The compressor is very quiet, as advertised. The pressure adjustment knob broke off immediately but you can still make adjustments with a screwdriver. Based on other reviews this is a common issue. Overall the compressor performance is ok - it is being used as an air assist on an 80 watt laser. It struggles to maintain pressure but it does work. It completely eliminated scorch marks on the wood. ... show more

    • Quiet Compressor
Style: Steel Tank w/Control Panel Size: 1 Gallon Color: Silver
I love these California Air Tools compressors. They are super quiet and recover quickly. I have purchased four of these compressors over the last few years for equipment that is not near any house air outlets. They have been used on laser welders, impulse sealers, shop hand tools, and as an easily portable unit for remote work. Being so quiet, you can be sitting right next to them and not be overpowered by the noise. I have had no failures with any part of these compressors. Highly recommended for light duty use. ... show more
