We've had our DeWalt D55168 for about three weeks now and love it. It dose everything well and it may be the perfect home or small business work shop compressor. from Amazon.com This is an excellent small shop / home air compressor. However, with that said, it's important to understand that it does have some limitations and is not designed to replace larger air compressors. With this review, I will try to give a thorough rundown and address both the pros and cons. from Amazon.com At CDN$350 from the Borg, the price was excellent. The small, upright tank means it fits easily into the shop, under the lumber rack. The 15-gallon tank is small, but the 200psi tank pressure means it still holds as much air as a larger, lower-pressure tank does. Takes a long time to fill the tank -- so you may be tempted to just drain only the water daily, leaving the air nearly fully charged. from Amazon.com I ordered this compressor twice from Amazon and had to send it back twice because it arrived damaged. The second time UPS didn't even bring it to my house; they saw that the packaging was damaged and asked if I wanted to take it. from Amazon.com Seems to take a long time to pressurize from 100 to 200 PSI. I would venture to guess that this unit is more like 4 CFM at 90 PSI. If Dewalt had placed a larger HP on this unit, it would have made a big difference. Unit is much quieter than my CH and appears to be better built. from Amazon.com Use caution. I just sent the second one back to Amazon. Both units were obviously damaged prior to shipment, as you could see where some other party received the same non-functional unit prior to me, and returned it in the re-taped box 3 or 4 times. I used the identical compressor of a friend, and knew this is just what I needed. from Amazon.com I bought one of these last night for 359 at home depot. After taking it out of the box, I saw that it was slightly different from the others that I had seen at the store. from Amazon.com The item was in excellent shape. The reason I'm giving it a four star rating is that it is not as quiet as I though it was going to be; however, it is much quieter than the old Sears model it replaced. The second reason is the drain valve on the bottom can not be opened completely unless you prop up the front feet two inches, which is a little dangerous since it throws the unit slightly off balance - poorly engineered!. They should have made the wheels a little bigger or placed the tank slightly higher. from Amazon.com it dose everything well and it may be the perfect home or small business work shop compressor. from Amazon.com for filling up tires, it's great. from Amazon.com
