Normally CFM is marked on the compressor/tank/cover along with the other
specs.

This one just has a big table of tasks, rated by typical air usage, and
sez that it's a "7", so will handle any task of "7" or less. No
indication that the "7" is anything other than an arbitrary scale.



As far as quiet, it *is* a compressor, but two people can readily stand
next to it and converse in only slightly elevated tones. I had the
salesman wheel it and 3 or 4 other models over to the nearest outlet so
I could listen before I bought.

Interesting. I'd like to hear an oiless compressor that doesn't sound
similar to an old Wagner electric paint sprayer on steroids.

Well, when you get curious enough to go listen, do what I did and go to
the store and listen. Or come over to my shop if you want.
