California Air Tools1620S Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 2.0 Hp, 1.6 Gal. Steel Tank Air Compressor

Twice the airflow than my pancake compressor and much quieter not cheap but worth it for me.

This model is a step up from my previous California Tools compressor. I am still thrilled with the thermal cutoff feature. It saves the life of my compressors! Great on reduced noise as well.

As described. Well made and quiet. I would buy another in a minute. Sorry I didn’t get one sooner to save my hearing

It still is very loud (fatiguing to the ears) during final air release before opening the tank drain. Before storage.It's also fatiguing on the ears during operation. when it reaches max full the air over fill valve triggers. high Dbl.Also, I'm gonna break it fast, I've not been clearing the tank from condensation; after use.even when I do clear it, I feel like there is still some moisture inside.I was thinking about shooting some anti rust spray inside the tank (through the drain valve.) I need to install the air/oil filter. I air dry stuff but moisture is coming out with the air. Probably wouldn't use it to dust electronic parts (without the filter installed)

its quite & heavy but has the bigger 2hp motor so to be expected! i would consider this compressor semi portable! its not something id like to move around all day on job sites but a garage with limited space and or the use of an external air tank to increase the volume of air for running air tools,media/sand blasters or plasma cutting ect…
