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

Very good for the hobbiest or DIY projects. Extremely quiet, efficient, and compact. Of your running a die grinder all day, I'd suggest a bigger tank...otherwise this is perfect for small projects. Thank you

This really is a nice air compressor. It is quiet, quick on filling up, and lightweight to roll around. What more is there to say? It does its job and does it well.

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.

The California Air Tools 8010 is a game-changer! Runs at just 60 dBA—quieter than a conversation—yet delivers impressive 1.0 HP performance. The 8-gallon steel tank is sturdy, and the oil-free design means zero maintenance. Lightweight with smooth-rolling wheels for easy transport. Perfect for indoor workshops, garages, or jobsites where noise matters. Far outperforms louder competitors. A premium, worry-free investment that lives up to the hype!

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

I'm very very happy with this compressor, which I received about 2.5 weeks ago, now. I haven't used it very heavily and won't until the springtime but all indications are very good so far. The sales materials and the video are all correct -- you can run this compressor, stand right next to it with a friend, and have a normal conversation with them without even raising your voice. When you're stuck in an enclosed room, in the basement or in the garage all day, this thing will improve your quality of life. You won't be retreating from the room anymore, every time the compressor switches on.
