Summary: Good compressor, poor design
Comment: This compressor does the basics well - compress air. The issues that I have are in the design of the unit.
1. The bleed valve location is on the back of the unit next to the compressor motor, which makes it hard to access and there's burn potential for hands.
2. The pressure gauge is behind the carry handle so vision is obstructed.
3. The output pressure control valve is tight behind the carry handle.
4. The hose connection faces the compressor motor rather than the front.
It does the basics without complaint.
Customer Rating: Summary: Hard to start
Comment: This compressor kicks out the overload on cold start ups. With an ambient temperature of 70 degrees and above I don't expect difficulties with start up, but I have to re-set the overload 5 to 6 times with the tanks empty. I had this identical compressor before (it was stolen) and I never had a problem with start-up unless it was below freezing.
I am quite disapointed with this item.
Customer Rating: Summary: DeWalt - What more need I say?
Comment: This is a great little compressor for the money! I didn't need a real high volume unit, as I only plan to fill tires & blow dust out of my electronic devices - I have 19 pooches and there's a lot of dust "in these-here parts"! The compressor has performed flawlessly. I'm pleased!
Customer Rating: Summary: not so hot hot dog
Comment: I returned the DeWalt compresssor because I believe it had been used, probably briefly, returned and reshipped to me. It arrived with considerable oil in the bottom of the carton. When attempting to initiate set up procedure, the owners manual was unclear and necessitated a call to a DeWalt service center. There was a considerable amount of oil in the crankcase, and an ounce (approx) of rusty water drained from the tanks when valves were opened; the service center rep advised that this should not have been the case. Additionally, pressure control valve is difficult to adjust because of location under the handle.
Customer Rating: Summary: Need to buy another compressor
Comment: I purchased this compressor because the specifications indicated it was powerful enough for a specific project I was working on. I checked the specs on DeWalt's website, too. While I have loved all other DeWalt tools I own, this was a waste of money as it did not have enough CFPS to power the tool I bought it to use with, even thouth the DeWalt site listed specs that indicated it did. For a general, small compressor for simple household tasks, this is a great tool. But if you are considering purchasing it for the CFPS and PSI specs it advertises, you probably need to spend more money and get a bigger one. I now need to spend more money to get a second one that will actually do the job, and I'm going to have to figure out what to do with this one.
