Default DeVilbiss Air Compressors - Are They Any Good?

I've started looking for a small quiet compressor for light use in my garage- for car tires, blowing,nail guns ect. We just moved into a townhouse so low decibels is a high priority. Some online liked the California Air Tool CAT 2010A at $185 ,2 gallon tank and 2.2 cfm@90 psi with about 65 decibels. But then other reviews claimed theirs leaked badly they sent it back and the 2nd one leaked too.Mixed reviews all over. Is Cal Air Tool any good? Is Devilbiss better? Also quiet?

Thanks, Buffalo Bob



There are only a few manufacturers of air compressors. Most are made by
the same company and labeled accordingly.

If the compressor has the features you are looing for and has a
comparable warranty it should be OK.

Typically cast iron and oil lubricated units will last the longest. A
magnet will tell you if it is aluminum or iron.
