We use this for my double press. It’s not so loud for the area we are working in. Makes our press work amazingly m. It fills up super fast too.

Third California Air Tool compressor I've purchased, for three different people. They are extremely dependable and quiet. Very durable and highly recommended.

El compresor funciona de maravilla y el ruido es poco comparado con los otros compresores que tengo y que son libres de aceite, sin embargo no es tan ultrasilencioso (aunque realmente no es molesto).

I've contained a lust for California Air Tool compressors, for years. However, they seemed too pricey. Plus, I already had a couple compressors that functioned perfectly fine, but they're loud as all-get-out. Now that the CAT compressors are within my budget and I've gotten a bit older, maybe wiser (think about "1970's rock concerts"), I treated myself to what I consider an indispensable piece of equipment.The 1 HP 2 gallon with Aluminum tank is pretty easy to carry. While running, you can, literally, have a normal-voice level conversation while standing 4 feet away. It's compact enough to stash under one of my workshop shelves and doesn't suppress or disrupt any sense of calm while I'm obsessing over some perceived-essential wood shop task (should I hang my coping saw on peg board, keep it in a drawer or throw it on the work bench). It doesn't trip a 15-Amp breaker. My 15-gauge Makita finish nailer will set a 2 1/2" nail through 1" thick Hickory stair treads into Pine stair stringers, all day long. My 16, 18 and 23-gauge nailers and/or staplers aren't a challenge for this guy. It'll give me enough air blast to dust off my saws before storage and pump up my 80 PSI truck tires.My Gal was impressed by the quietness when I turned it on for the first time. As usual, she was expecting my pre-unboxing accolades to be hyperbole and excuses for buying a tool. Honestly, she said, "Wow", with zero sarcasm, in her normal that's-really-cool-but-it-doesn't-cook-dinner voice. She'll have to listen to my 25-year-old, cast-Iron pump, 20 gallon compressor I use in our garage, until it's, hopefully soon, replaced with a California Air Tools big-un. I might run that noisy, old, oil-dripper a lot, just before a new garage-size CAT unit gets delivered.Also, assembly, was excessively simple. It took about a minute, but I tortured myself for a few seconds, pondering the optimal position for the air intake tube. I decided on pointing it downward, towards the outboard side, thinking that would provide a clean path for cooler-air intake. My Gal, offered no objection. Like, I woulda listened, anyway. I coulda heard her though, if she had. This thing is very quiet.P.S. I don't expect it to keep up with my bump-fire framing nailer or an air ratchet. I haven't tried, either. That's not why I bought it.

Off the top of my head I can think of 9 other air compressors I've used over the years. With the exception of large two stage compressors, and most recently the Senco PC1010N (a direct competitor of this compressor), they were all noisy and not particularly impressive.I really wanted to like the Senco. It's light, attractive, quiet, compact, and very handy due to it's small size. However I found it annoying because it ran ALL THE TIME. slight leak at a fitting? It's running. Shoot a few brad nails? It's running. I mean it's quiet, but it's not unnoticeable. I was also concerned about wearing the thing out prematurely because it ran so much. In fairness, with a 1 gal tank I knew it was going to run fairly often. But as it turns out it was just running too much.When I stumbled across the California air tools compressor I had never heard of this brand. But I couldn't help but notice they were solving some fundamental shortcomings with their designs. The two gallon compressor not only holds more air, it also has two cylinders to fill the tank, and the cylinders are quite wide. This translates to far less runtime to fill twice as much tank, and it's even quieter than I imagined. It's the kind of quiet that puts a grin on my face. I didn't know air compressors could be such a pleasure to use.I've seen some nitpicky reviews about this product. And it makes me think that the folks writing those reviews don't have much experience with air compressors. I just started using this compressor so I have no idea about the longevity of the product. But, given the build quality, I have no doubt this compressor will be with me for a long time.

By the numbers:First - yes it is ultra quiet. The manufacturer totes this at 60db (which is pretty quiet) you can have a conversation standing right next to it.Number 2 - It presses up to tank pressure of 115psi in just a few minutes (if that - it seems really quick).III - It has a solid design that is compact and portable, light-weight in comparison to other steel tank units.16/4 - The suction cup feet even if not on a super smooth surface keep the unit from moving around a lot when running.5 - out of the box and up and running in about 2 minutes.3x2 - The switch is solid and accurate starting and stopping in auto right on with the pressures. Tank pressure gauge is a bit difficult to read from a standing position (that is the one critical thing I would recommend changing - installing a 90degree adaptor soon so I can see the gauge better). The regulator is nicely positioned and easy to use. The drain valve is positioned low as it should be and super easy to operate (just a quarter-turn to open the valve).Seventh of the order - If you are tempted to ask other reviewers IF a specific tool will work with this unit, I would recommend reading the literature on both the unit and your tool FIRST. The tool will usually provide a recommended pressure and CFM, and the compressor will either meet that demand or it will not and you will need to size the compressor accordingly.I just got this compressor and it doesn't have a lot of run hours on it, but out of the box I'm giving it a solid 5 stars.
