California Air Tools 8010 1.0 HP Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free Air Compressor, 8 Gallon Steel Tank, Lightweight with Wheels, 60 dBA Noise Level

Finally, a compressor that I don't have to wear earmuffs for.I'm a woodworker and I use my compressor mainly for blowing sawdust from workpieces and machinery. I purchased this to replace a short lived other brand very loud compressor that bit the dust after only 4 years. I'm overwhelmed over the quiet of this one. And by the looks of it, I believe that it's lifespan will be considerably more than the former one.

Only thing that bothered me so far is there was a clipped zip tie left inside the engine, like it was zip tied around the coils or something and someone forgot to remove it as they were building the motor. At any rate, I noticed it before I even put it together but the thought of it coming loose and binding the engine kinda bummed me out. Besides that, it's beyond quiet, fills quickly, empties easily, zero leaks (still new only used a couple times so far) and it has way more air pressure than I was even hoping for. Will use often to blow dust out of everything and air up tires obviously. Highly recommend it. Oh it's actually a lot lighter than I thought one that size would be too. Can easily pick it up if you can't pull or push it for whatever reason.

Five minute set up and I was ready to go. Tank fills up in a few minutes. Set the regulator to 90, the tank fills to 120. It is way quieter than I expected, so much happier with this one than my old husky that died after 10 years . The husky was also almost twice the price, but 20 gallon and took way longer to fill up.

Very good product, easy to install, safe and strong! I really liked it! I recommend it.

Outstanding quiet compressor. Runs air assist on my two Co2 lasers.

I purchased this particular compressor because of all the so quite reviews. I have to admit this is the most quite air compressor I have ever been around. I do a lot of remodel projects in our home, where we all live, so noise was a big factor in deciding on purchasing this one. It is quieter than our countertop icemaker for sure. The unit handles my framing nailer without any problems. So, many quick hit tools this machine will work well.But there are a few drawbacks that one should be aware of before purchasing.1. For a small compressor it is super difficult to move around. The handle is low so if you try to lift with the handle and stand up you will be dragging it on the back because the wheels will be off the floor. So if you want to roll it you have to be hunched way over. I usually end up picking the thing up and carrying it. But this is difficult if it is plugged in and the air hose is extended.2. I have not tried to apply wall texture with it, but I have attached the blow nozzle to dust off and the compressor does not have much capacity before it kicks on to recharge. The recharge time is a little slow as well. So, I am not sure this will work with a texture gun. Or I should say it may be real slow going spraying texture with this unit.3. The gauges are in not easy to read places. It sits low to the ground so both gauges should face up. You about have to get on your knees to see the one gauge.Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and I would purchase again. It is well built, quite and will work for most small applications for home improvement projects. If you do a lot that requires higher volume of air output I would look for a higher capacity unit with quicker recharging.

This thing is so quiet you barely hear it running.

This works great!Well made and glad I bought it.
