Review: On par with the best Dewalt products that I've owned - The first part of this review is for everyone, the longer parts are for those new to compressor buying. This compressor is perfect for light duty indoor applications. I used it for a 16 guage 2.5" straight finish baseboards to cover 1700 square feet, for an 18 guage 2" finish brad nail gun, a tire inflation tip, and an air sprayer nozzle. It is quiet and worked flawlessly for these tasks. I am not afraid of buying a compressor that needs to be oiled periodically, but it seems that most of the newer light duty compressors are oil free like this one. For the price and functionality this was the best compressor I was able to find, so I will adapt to owning an oil free unit. The general rule for oil less compressors is that if you want the device to last, you will try and limit the run time to half duty; meaning that if you are working on nailing baseboards for 20 minutes try to limit the time the compressor motor runs to 10 minutes. This unit does help you out by cycling itself on and off. If you are experienced with buying compressors than I conclude by saying this is yet another solid product by Dewalt, the price is fair, the unit is quiet as advertised, and well built with job-site protection and functionality incorporated into the design. If your new to compressor shopping than keep reading and I will break down the process for you. You can go crazy trying to figure out what you need from a compressor if your new to using pneumatic tools, but you've probably also figured out that pneumatic tools are often superior and less expensive than their electric or gas powered competition. In a perfect world people would just accept that oiling a compressor is much easier and less expensive than buying a new one, in which case nearly every compressor would need to be oiled. In reality, most of the lighter duty compressors are oil free, whereas most of the medium to heavy duty compressors need to be maintained and oiled. As a general rule you will need a medium to heavy duty compressor with a large gallon reserve for continuous use tools, and a light to medium duty compressor with a smaller tank (Portability) for intermittent use tools. If your going into a business that requires multiple pneumatic tools being used simultaneously or high air pressure usage tools such as jackhammers or paint sprayers, you should probably be shopping elsewhere or waiting until you get that contractors license to buy a professional level compressor for over $1000. If you are a one person show or a renovating couple than you should be matching the compressor you buy to the needs of the specific tools you will be using. So you can look at the psi rating of the tools you are interested in and the psi rating of the tank, and finally the gallon/ liter holding capacity of the tank. This may seem confusing and like a lot of figuring, so I'll try to simplify with an example and leave the math out. The specifications of this unit are as follows: 3.0 SCFM delivered at 90 PSI pump, 2.5 gallon tank and 200 max PSI. The psi range of my 2.5" 16 guage straight finish nail gun which I use primarily for baseboards is 100 to 115psi. When installing baseboards in a room at a quick pace I don't have to stop often due to pressure dropping, but I would want at least a 4 gallon tank if another person wanted to use the second air output coupler to run simultaneously. If I wanted to use my pneumatic paint sprayer that requires on;y 50-60 psi I would want at least a 15 gallon tank. The difference is that the gun uses 115 psi intermittently while the paint sprayer uses 60 psi of air continuously creating a much greater demand for air volume. My advice is to buy this if you want a quiet, reliable, portable compressor for non continuous pneumatic tools. If you need a bigger tank you have no choice but to sacrifice the portability, you have to have the tank and compressor motor that meets the needs of your tool. If you can wait for the extra power but still want it someday, wait until you need the exterior of a house or building painted and save yourself money and wind up with a professional compressor. Hire a painter to do the pain in the arse detail painting on the eaves, around the chimney, wood trim shutters, etc...After the painter finishes ask him if you can use his painting discount to get some more paint for touch ups and if the adjoining areas need some due to paint drips (Never met a painter who has said no to this, since it means you might just fix his booboos instead of calling him back as you find them). The money you save on paint combined with the money you save on spraying the easy flat parts of your house will more than pay for a compressor, a new ladder with all the gadgets like levelers and push offs, and still have some more for your pocket! Hope this review helps!
Review: A solid upgrade from a pancake-style compressor - Excellent. A solid upgrade from a failing Porter Cable pancake style compressor; and this was a workhorse for several years of light home-owner work - I nearly bought another one of these, and would recommend one without hesitation, but was ready for a change. I did a lot of research before deciding to invest in this DeWalt. Very and surprisingly quiet for an air compressor -- not too much louder than an espresso machine. Set up was quick, setting pressure easy, and gauges are very visible. Tank pressure after a couple "break-in" uses maxed out at close to 200 psi. And it stores better than my old pancake compressor. I'm using this for brads, finish nails, and the occasional pin or framing nail (I haven't tried a framing nailer yet) - and air guns and filling car and bike tires. Based on my initial use I have not doubt it will do all these things well. It's a little heavier than my Porter Cable pancake compressor, but still easily moveable. Like the description says it is indeed, "compact and portable." Also, I love the drain ball valve as it makes it super easy to drain and not a "next time I use it" situation. Which, I hate to admit, usually became "next time" again. It came down to this and a Makita MAC700. Specs and cost are similar and, while I can't comment on longevity, I own both Dewalt and Makita tools and all are high quality. It really came down to weight, storage, and portability and the DeWalt had the edge in addition to being quieter than the Makita. Though I think the Makita would be a good, reliable choice as well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this run a standard 1/2" impact wrench.? Im looking for a small garage unit for tires and minor service. Die grinder, impact etc.**
A: No enough air capacity..

**Q: Can anyone confirm this compressor will run off a Honda EU2000i generator?**
A: Your generator could this pretty easily.  Any (US) generator rated for 1400 watts or higher will work.  Most (US) 1000w generators will work, so long as they accept spikes up to 1400w.    Yours accepts 1600w continuous with spikes up to to 2000w.

**Q: What is the duty rating on this unit? Is it 50% like most oiless?**
A: "This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 5 minutes in any 10 minute period." (Quoted from the instruction manual) -- so the short answer would be yes.

**Q: Hardwood installs, i been using 6gal @2.8 scfm will it do as good if not better being a 2.5 tank w/3.0 scfm's. Will this work?**
A: This model delivers 3.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI with a maximum tank pressure of 200 PSI. Please consult your tools CFM requirements to confirm if this will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid upgrade from a pancake-style compressor
*by T***R on September 28, 2016*

Excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Quiet and Great for RV/home/garage use.
*by B***B on November 2, 2020*

I bought this for garage use of filling up truck/rv/bike tires, cleaning parts with blower, maybe occasional stapler/brad or nail gun etc. I can not speak to its effectiveness of impact wrench, roofing jobs, how many nailers, keeping up etc. I'll leave that to the experts. This is perfect for my uses around the garage. I just threw out my older model oil free 100 psi that was loud, took forever to fill the dual gallon tanks, dials had yellowed to unreadable and finally quit on me after 15 years of light use. Pros: Not too heavy for a lift and carry. I like the dual ports so I can have both a blower and tire gauge at the ready. Covered switch in case you get caught outside in the rain. Lays on its side or stands up so its easy to store under the work bench. Fills the 200 psi tank pretty quick and shuts off afterwards. The drain on the tank is nice and easy to use with no more screwing it in with pliers and listening for leaks etc. The compressor regulates easily and quickly making winterizing an RV or topping off the tires seem almost fun. Cons: I wish the dials were larger and it should be mentioned when you lay it down for use on its back the dials will be upside down and because they are small its difficult to read from a short distance. I wish there was a wheel kit for it. Its a little expensive (but its better SCFM and PSI probably make it worth it). I wish the power cord was about a foot longer. Overall: This is a little more compressor than what I needed. I was looking for a quiet oil-free motor with fast refill times (the old one took forever to top off a tire to 65 psi. I bought a 25 foot air hose to go with it so I don't have to move it around very much if at all - I just open the garage door. My wife says she does not hear it inside the house but that was a couple of walls away. There's plenty of other reviews rating it for professional use so I just stuck to what I use it for. I'll update this in a year or two of course.
