    Apparently DeWalt is having Quality Control Problems! I received "TWO" compressors with the EXACT same leak problem at the top of the tank where pre-bent pipes all come together. There is no way to easily remove and put pipe dope on the threads to correct and still have All pipes lineup. (Which I should Not have to do on a Brand new product) I am saddened that USA quality is this poor. I expect this from "Offshore" not from the US. There is no place to put the pictures or else I would have. About the purchase I must say this; HOME DEPOT personnel have be ROCKSTARS! Their support and assistance is Top Shelf. It is why I still shop with them and will continue. All of the folks I have dealt with on this 'DeWalt problem' have been stellar! Thank you Home Depot!

    shipping disaster
    Compressor arrived and literally looks like a bucket of black paint was dumped on it. There is also thick orange paint on the inside of tge box. Parts are broken! What a hassle. Guess I will have to contact the store and try again.

      Questionable Quality Received
      Got 3 qty #DXCM251. Returned all. Defects: Bent Stand (tips over), Bent wheel mount, Oil leak, Loose fan belt, Air leak at pipe on top of tank (all). Obvious that units were repackaged. All carton staples were gone, paper tape on 3-prong plugs were gone, oil soaked cardboard base was under unit that did not have an oil leak. Reordered 3 more. Perfect with no signs of tampering. Received with 10-20 psi on tank gauge. Great drain valve design. A bit noisy.

        Dewalt 25 Gallon Compressor, DXCM251
        The compressor has a smaller foot print and is much quieter and than my old 15 gal. Speed Air. I did replace the intake filter and installed an cooler and a water trap to manage the the condensation. It rally does a nice job, the temperature of the compressor output line runs >150 degrees and at the water trap input line is now about 75 degrees. I'll get about a tablespoon of water in the bottom of the trap from a single tank fill. Again as may other reviews have it shipping was again an issue. My unit went down on its side during shipment, draining the oil out of the compressor. HD covered the cost for a quart of oil so no big deal. I would recommend this compressor. Cooler - Derale 15300 Trap - THB 1/2" Air Filter - Solberg FS-06-050

        Very quiet
        just received a week ago. Very quiet. No hose storage so I made my own. No assembly required, just unbox. Too early to comment on performance though. Only completed the break-in procedure.

          Dewalt makes high quality products and this electric air compressor is no exception. It is strong and sturdy yet is easy to move around because of the heavy duty rubber tires.It has a large tank capacity of twenty five gallons. It comes full of oil, an added bonus.The compressor has a multitude of uses. So far I have used it to put air in the tires of two vehicles and it was easy to use.As air compressors go it is quieter than others that I have used. It has a two year warranty.I am very happy with it.

          DEWALT 25 Gal. 200 PSI Portable Vertical Electric Air Compressor – This compressor is a huge upgrade over my 20-year-old 20-gallon, 125 PSI compressor. Before connecting it to my shop’s compressed air piping, I did go through the manual and the break-in procedure. I like its larger size and with higher pressure I now have plenty of air to run air-sanders, grinders and impact guns without waiting for the compressor to keep up. Not that my old compressor is excessively loud, but the Dewalt compressor is noticeably quieter and runs smoother. Being an upright compressor is a plus, its footprint in my shop is about half that of the old horizontal unit. Although I really like this compressor, a couple of suggested improvements: add 2 or 3 more quick-connects for connecting more hoses/tools and an automatic condensate drain would make this perfect.

          This compressor is the ultimate movable compressor. It has kept up with every challenge I’ve given it. It’s mounted on rubber inflatable tires and the front floor rests are rubber pucks that help eliminate vibration and noise. The regulator is mounted on the top front of the unit for easy adjustment. There is one hookup for an air hose. This unit is very quiet and a must have. It easily handles air tools and this awesome compressor will last for years. It’s very well built and very sturdy and very easily moved. Don’t hesitate to get this compressor.
