Excellent. Easy to transport with adequate capacity. This is my second one. The first lasted so long I can’t remember when I purchased it. The tank finally developed a pin hole from corrosion, but it’s still pumps and runs fine.

Appears to be a good little compressor, oil filled piston.

got this for a Christmas present . Went threw all the instructions for break in. Didn't use it till March the 5. Ran for 10 minutes total and quit running for no reason. Called Amazon and said it was over the 30 days. Only a partial return. Called dewalt and tried to find a place close to my home for repair. called and still never got a hold of any one. Got it for mobile use.. No chance of that happening. Really sucks that it didn't run for at least long enough to get our work done. Just setting in the shop now collecting dust. Will never buy this brand again.

Most other compressors in this price range are oil-free, so they are a lot louder, and usually not as durable. I was not able to find another compressor anywhere close to this price which offered the air volume or durability (having an oiled pump) of this compressor. I am very happy with my purchase. I checked Craigslist before purchasing this compressor and people were asking as much for a used nearly identical model as I paid for a new one with warranty from Amazon. So far I have used this compressor for some finish nailing, and to spray texture on ceilings.As one reviewer stated, it does not come with any hose connectors, so you will need to buy one.

I used to work in carpentry back in college, I used a similiar air compressor. I've seen this air compressor take some beatings and it just kept going. Now that I own a home I saw a dewalt with one of the lower price ranges in the air capacity and power range, it was a no brainer to buy this model.I used it to nail down my hardwood floors and it work like a charm. Pressure stayed consistent.For maintenance and up keep.. Empty the tank during lunch and at the end of the day and make sure every time you use it you check the oil. Simple enough.

My first compressor and first DeWalt anything. I'm just a home mr fix-it want-to-be,but this compressor worked great. I used it for building a garbage enclosure. I went cheap on the nail gun and had zero problems with anything. I controlled the sink dept of my nail with the pressure from the compressor - worked like a charm.This compressor was pretty quite for its size, it held it's air very well and it got to the required pressure needed very quickly. As mentioned - I'm no professional, but I'm not sure how this tool could have performed any better.Only downside, it's a little heavy and the "tote" handle could be a touch higher -- you're hand will almost hit the pressure gauage when you grabbing it.Would buy again with no hesitation.

As with most DeWalt products the manuals usually cover more than one model so you need to be careful so you dont screw up. I received the compressor in the original bashed carton. I crossed my fingers and opened it. No damage that I could see. I filled it with the supplied oil (6oz) and ran the break-in for 30 minutes. Closed off the 2 drain plugs and the compressor tanks pressurized. It cut off and held pressure for an hour so I guess all is well. Its not horribly heavy, but neither is it a lightweight. Its somewhat quieter than my old 6 gallon pancake. The noise has a different tone, so its not nearly as annoying as the pancake was. I will use this in my shop and use my D55140 1 gal for my trim jobs. Recommend both. Longevity is to be seen, but for now Im satisfied.

I bought this compressor after the one I had died on me. I did not have any packaging problems or issues and it worked fine. Major problem for me is that it requires to be plugged into an outlet and an extension cord should not be used. I used an extension cord (properly rated) and it did not provide enough power, it would start up then make a whining noise and did not pressurize. I consulted Dewalt Service Store to determine what the problem was and they said it worked fine with them. I did some research on my own and through trouble shooting, I determined it was the power, now I run a longer hose so the compressor can sit by the outlet, not a major issue and it has been working fine since then. Not a lot of info on Dewalt website for trouble shooting, found the website [...] to be useful in resolving my issue.

I bought this thing a few months ago and finally fired it up yesterday. It works great. I put up some Wainscoting using a new Senco brad nailer, and it was incredibly easy. It's not too loud either. On the downside, this thing is pretty heavy. I've never used an air compressor before, so I read the directions thoroughly. The directions are HORRIBLE. They are not specific to this item, and the drawings look like they were made by a third grader and photocopied on a Mao-Tse Tung era photocopier. You simply cannot find what they are referring to. It repeatedly says to drain the thing after each use, but apparently the drain plugs unscrew in reverse (it releases the air, and opens the drain as you tighten it). Some of the DeWalt units have a level on the release valve, but this has a small textured screw cap. It's also confusing as to how you release the air in the main tanks. I know most of you reading this probably already have used an air compressor before, so this won't really apply, but for the novices you may want to visit Home Depot, find an old guy working there that knows what he's talking about, and have him point out how to work the thing. Other than that, this is a great unit that hopefully will last for years of home improvement projects (crown moulding, wainscotting, etc).
