Top / Best Quiet & Oil-Free Air Compressor for your dollar 💵

review and test on the top quiet air compressors on the market for California and Kobalt. https://amzn.to/3qPHDS8 I chose the Kobalt for several reasons. Cost vs 90PSI air delivery, modest tank size, oilless. It's advertised as "Quiet tech" and I had no idea what that would actually mean in real life but figured it couldn't hurt. Out of box was perfect. Unit well packed, everything in place with basic printed instructions. Fired up and cycled to set pressure perfectly. Nice touches are a built in tank drain on the bottom and a hook on the tank to hang a hose from. Not crazy about the two air fittings on the front panel at an upward angle. Seems that puts air hoses under unnecessary strain and also allows airborne crud to fall into them. They're mounted via multiport manifold underneath so this will allow them to be moved or additional ones installed in other directions, so a minor point. The quiet part was a surprise. It really is a lot quieter than my last single stage compressor, by quite a bit. The old compressor I could hear hammering away in the garage from anywhere in the house, this one I have to be inside the garage to hear it. Very nice feature. Very pleased so far with this unit and I think it's a good value at it's price point
