Very quiet but longevity may be suspect
»
Bought this compressor for permanent mounting on my RV. It is very light and very quiet compared to my larger garage compressor. Make no mistake, this is not a powerhouse and if you need large volumes get a larger compressor. My only concern is that after only running for about one hour of total time (including break-in per mfr instructions), I find it is taking longer and longer to fill the 1 gallon tank before shutting down at the preset pressure level. This could be an indication that cylinder / piston is already wearing. There are no air leaks that I can hear. Other than that concern, it seems to be well designed and built.

Great low noise compressor
»
This compressors is small compared to other compressors, and for basic use it is a must. It is very quiet and his a built in quick connect switch is cool for those who like to switch out tools. The regulator is decent but takes some getting use to. All in all it is a great basic use compressor. One side note, the compressor comes in a box with no real packing foam to cushion it so inspect it other than that its a great buy.

Good price for a good air compressor
»
Well, this unit had a leak in one of the fitting. I took it to the local dewalt repair place, in a couple days they had it ready and worked great. I have had it for some time and its worth the cash spent. I used it to nail my baseboards. It did kick of all lot but I only needed to nail a few at a time so it fit the job.

Accessaries not included

The Dewalt Compresser is excellent but for the price the company should include an air hose and attachments.

Great Little Compressor. QUIET
»
This compressor is a really nice compact unit. It's comes up to pressure quickly and is VERY quiet. Compared to the noisy old Campbeli Hausfeld compressor it replaced this thing is a relief to my ears. It just purs. The front panel gauges, pressure adjustment knob and hose attachment fitting are very convenient. I only use it for tire inflation and general cleaning and drying so I can't vouch for its use with air tools. However if I were using it in doors the low sound level would surely be a big plus. And again it does come back up to pressure very quickly compared to the CH. All in all I've been very satisfied and only hope it holds up over the long haul.
