California Air Tools CAT-5510SE,1 HP,Portable Compressor,5.5 Gal,Horiz,120 PSI,2.2 CFM,1-Phase 110V

Used 3 times and has completely stopped working. Property maintained, kept indoors. Company is not willing to even help figure out this problem or replace. Highly recommend another company or compressor.

I just got it on sale, and I'm glad I didn't pay the current price. It is very quiet but has a very weak output. Seems to be made well but very poor engineering. Gauges need to be turned up to view them. Power switch seems to be backwards; down for on and have to reach down to pull up for off? Power cord should be opposite to air hose. The main thing I see from a trial test is it seemed like I was using a 12v emergency air pump, not a several hundred dollar compressor.

It was quite at first then started making louder noise after using it for a few hundred hours. (pump life is supposed to be 2000 hrs) Now it takes 4 minutes to fill the small 5.5 gallon tank from empty to 118PSI. This model has the cheaper pump and I have 2 more from the same company, that cost double the amount, and are supposed to have longer lasting pumps. I hope that is the case.

I have mine for about 3 years and no issues. I use it on a laser engraver for air assist and compared to others, this is very quiet and works great. We have used it for filling soft car tires and it works great. I am going to buy another unit right now as we have another engraver. Great compressor!

I've used this compressor for 2-3 years and have never had a single issue. It is super quiet and I love it. I actually run two of them together when I need to use bigger air tools.
