 Great for the money! August 14, 2009

I have used a wide range of compressors in renovations and remodels. I strongly recomend a oil-type compressor. the first one I owned was oil-free and it only lasted about a year. as long as you check your oil level and color before every use and change when you notice the break down of the oil (brown in color don't wait till it turns black) you compressor will last a DIY a life time. where oil-free compressors piston rings naturaly wear down over time and will require a rebuild. Not a good compressor for a crew it will not handle more than 2 framing guns (cfms to low)but 1 gun or 2 if not going nuts, will keep up all day. If running continiously drain tank every hour to save tools or after every use, small tanks=lots of moisture.
Good compressor, once kinks are worked out!!! July 8, 2009

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.

Dewalt Air Compressor February 1, 2009

The Dewalt air compressor arrived on time and performs as expected. I have enjoyed using the item and, with general maintenance, I expect it to last for many years to come.

I am a production wood sculptor, and use this compressor continuously to clean wood chips and dust from the work. Although I have only used it for a year and a half, I recommend it to anyone needing a unit which can run continuously.
It arrived in ready to run condition.
I run a wide variety of noisy tools in my wood shop, and have found earplugs useful in making noise a non-issue.
