Has anyone have or used this brand of compressor?
I am looking for a compressor for my spray guns.
I used to have access to a big Rolair on wheels but no longer available for me.
I have been thinking about getting the Rolair vt25big,but looking at the specs it is loud  90 decibel!
So I did some research and came upon this one
http://www.californiaairtools.com/quiet-air-compressors-ultra-quiet-oil-free/cat-10020/
It puts out plenty of CFM for me and it is really quiet,
But I never heard of the brand.I'm just trying to get some more info on how good/bad they are.

I have been looking at them too. The 10 gal one looks nice, but havent pulled the trigger yet either.
I like that 8t will run on a 15 amp breaker,  that is huge for me.

They have the same heads as a local offering I was looking at then was advised against. I found out the return ratio was very high.

This could be isolated to Oz - not sure. The oil free and quiet characteristics were very attractive to me, but I went a bit traditional in my final choice.

A friend of mine bought that exact model about 18 months ago and is very happy with it. He is using it pretty heavily almost daily to build an airplane. It is quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation 5 feet from it. It appears to be pretty good quality.

I bought a CAT-6310 when HD had them on sale for $150. It is much quieter than my Makita 700 and 2400 and I use it at home where that is important. It is clearly lower quality than the bigger one my friend bought and my Makita units. I'm not sure I would recomment it at the normal price of $250.
