      Can I fill the tank then unplug the compressor and carry it to the device I need to fill? I understand that I would need to plug the compressor back in if I need more air to complete the job.

      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      No, the DWFP55130 electric air compressor needs to be plugged in and running to build and maintain air pressure in the tank; it does not have a battery or internal power source.

          The DWFP55130 is a great option.

          By|Sep 3, 2025

            I went with the Husky 4.5 Gal 3 SCFM @ 90 psi Ultra Quiet air compresssor. It has double the air storage and wheels to make it a lot easier to move around. This compressor isn’t nearly as light as they make it seem in the video. Used a lot and Husky wins.

                  Far less then 200 psi. This is why I like the Husky it will max 175 and also put out 175.

                    Died a month after the warranty expired. Leaking air somewhere and will not hold pressure. Don't buy Dwalt junk.

                      So far, so Good...
                      I needed a new Portable Air Compressor. The Dewalt DWFP55130 is replacing one from another manufacturer that's a decade old... I like it so far. It's fairly quiet. A lot more so than my old one. I like that you can use it in a couple different positions. If fills up fast. It's has enough power for what I use it for. Projects around the house like trimming windows, doors and base moulding, etc. I wish it came with a hose but the Dewalt hose DXCM012-0205 is a really good match... I have seen reviews questioning durability. Only had it about 2 weeks so can't comment on that right now. Works as intended. Every time I am done using for the day I always drain the air out. If its lasts move it up to 5 stars...

                        I bought this compressor a little over a year ago. First major project and it is leaking air. Cumulative use less than a month over the past year.

                          Fixed Finally!! Read for regulator fix/ repair
                          I bought the compressor a couple of years ago and very infrequently used it. Last year it stopped holding pressure. You could hear air leaking from the regulator and the pressure wouldn’t go past 50 psi. After a lot of tinkering I found the problem and the fix!! The faulty regulator is fixed now and it’s working perfectly again. The attached photos are for a different model compressor but the parts are the same. Remove all air from the tank and unplug before attempting fix. You have to unscrew (counterclockwise) the regulator knob. It’ll get stuck at a stop, keep unscrewing until it’s completely removed. Use pliers to pull out the plunger type thing. Then I used a Philips size 3 (large) screwdriver to gently unscrew the plastic valve and remove it from the metal manifold. That’s when I found a completely disintegrated and corroded to dust spring there. Replace that spring with any that fits (approx 6mm wide by 20mm long and really thin gauge wire 0.5mm). I used a spring from a 3D printer part. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just has to hold a certain valve part in place. And reassemble. Compressor works perfectly now!

                            Valve plate assembly failed. It costed me $145 to replace. It was used very lightly.

                              Soo quiet!!!
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a TON of interior remodeling and have always used a pancake-style compressor for most of the air tools. Not anymore. Currently we are working on finishing a basement and this thing is so quiet that we can actually talk over it while it’s running in a concrete basement!! It’s packed with cool features (2 outlets, clearly visible gauges, dust proof power switch, full roll cage and you can set it upright or horizontal), it’s crazy light and it fills up quick. We ran two framing guns on it without an issue! Everyone in the crew wants to buy these now!

                                great compressor for trim work
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a professional trim carpenter. I've been using this compressor full time now for about two weeks. I like the design that allows the compressor to stand up or lay flat… it really helps as far as space savings goes when packing all my tools in my truck. the compressor isn't too heavy either, so it's not annoying having to get it out and carry it into different jobs. the compressor has two outlets for air hoses, one of which I put a splitter on. the compressor easily handled 3 guys working all day off of it for a week. it didn't run too often, and when it did, it was much quieter than 95% of the compressors out there. the air hose couplings it has are the nice ones that lock on to the air hose when you just push it in. it also has a well positioned carrying handle, easy to adjust pressure knob, and easy to read pressure gauges. overall, a very well built air compressor.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad I upgraded to this air compressor! Very quiet and fills up quickly. And as usual with dewalt the quality and durability is always top notch!

                                    I was looking for a small compressor capable of putting out more pressure than a standard pancake compressor. Also, since I often use a compressor in my garage and house, I wanted one that wasn't obnoxiously loud. The compressors I replaced with this unit included a standard pancake compressor that malfunctioned after minimal use and a large 30 gallon garage compressor that I no longer need the high volume of air it produced. Both of those compressors were uncomfortably noisy requiring hearing protection and a location no where near where I was working to be comfortable. This DeWalt is light making it easy to move around, yet supplies all the air I need for home projects. The reduced noise level is appreciated every time I use it. Please note that there are quieter compressors on the market, but this one delivers higher pressure than most of those ultra quiet models. Overall the compressor seems well built with the features I was looking for. I can't speak for long term reliability yet as the unit is new but I did purchase an extended warrantee just in case. The compressor fits well within Dewalt's mobile storage chest (see images - also purchased at Home Depot) along with hoses, heavy duty extension cord, accessories and crown stapler gun. At this point I am very satisfied.
