I've searched the site, found a few posts on their smaller compressors that are overall favorable. They seem quiet and reliable and both are important to me. Portability isn't a concern, it has a dedicated home in the basement.
I have a Rolair VT20TB and it meets the quiet requirement well, it just doesn't put out enough air to run my nailguns and small HVLP conversion guns so I have to use a 15-gal tank from an old compressor as a reservoir. Even with that, the framing and trim guns run out of pressure most of the time I'm using them.
So I ordered the CAT 20040C (http://www.californiaairtools.com/ultra-quiet-series-of-air-compressors/4-0-hp-air-compressors/cat-20040c/) with the auto-drain. It's a little quieter from published specs than the Rolair(75 Db vs 79 Db) but I'll wait to hear on that. I'm just looking forward to having a compressor that has enough capacity to do what I need it to do.
So does anyone have the 4Hp version of the compressor? Thoughts and impressions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Bill
