i have one sat down at my garage for three years, do i need to change the oil before make it run ...
Asked by bighorn July 13, 20201

Can you stand on it? Looks like you can.
Asked by Tess July 9, 20201
AnswerYes, but designed for that purpose.

How many decibels does this produce?
Asked by March 9, 20201

Will this compressor spray gelcoat? The gun requires 3.8 cfm @ 40 psi?
Asked by Ls09 February 28, 20202

This compressor is rated at 225PSI, but what is the maximum operating air pressure to the tool?
Asked by Garrett February 13, 20201
AnswerNot sure what the pressure is at the tool you’re using. For us the volume of air supplied to our nail guns is important. We run 2 nail guns. If you’re using a DA I would contact the Mfgr.

Beyond expectations

Customer review from dewalt.com 
I bought this a few months ago and the wife and I decided to build our own cabinets. I have 2 Dewalt drills in addition to the Dewalt air compressor. The air compressor has changed my life. I absolutely am a Dewalt guy and now, I’m in love with air tools now thanks to this compressor. This is the first time I’ve ever owned an air compressor and I’m so glad that I took the plunge. Being a Dewalt guy, there was no choice but Dewalt air and it has definitely not disappointed me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bought this a few weeks ago went to use it and it no longer holds pressure only used it twice
pressure gauges

When you purchasing the compressor buy extra gauges. Both compressors that I have owned I’ve had to replace gauges within a few months. Face play develop sleek and pops off

April 12, 2018
Highly portable and high pressure. This model has both pros and cons. The mobility and high pressure make this nice for taking to worksites, but it is only meant to operate in the down position, so takes up more workspace. The high pressure helps make the air last longer for most tools, but it is only 4.5 gallon so is not reccomended for high airflow applications such as painting or sandblasting. The paint job is really think, but brittle, in a couple areas not completely covered by the shipping tape, the paint cracked off. I do like that it includes two tool outlets, but both are regulated off the same pressure valve. And the tank holds pressure even after weeks as long as the outlet valves are turned down to no pressure. Solidly built, but the cord is only about 4 feet, and I had trouble getting it to reach most outlets in my garage. Depending on your needs, a larger tank size might preferable for a shop based unit, and a gas powered model might be better for a mobile model. This sits in the middle of work power and mobility.

February 16, 2018
We're very happy with this compressor. The wheels and retractable handle gave us the portability that we needed. It's not too big either. I don't know that it's any less noisy than other air compressors we've owned. This one does refill quickly. The gauges and connection ports are easy to see and reach. It's built tough. I would recommend this DeWalt model.
Leaking Regulator - Uses a generic manifold/regulator
October 25, 2020
The Type 8 of this model uses a generic manifold/regulator combination similar to previous models that have known issues with the regulator developing leaks. During my research I learned that many other makes (co-owned and separate) also use similar components. This is apparently a hit-or-miss issue that does not happen to all of these machines. I could not find a rebuild kit for this model (they are very available for types 1, and 3-5), so I had to buy a new manifold/regulator combination for $67.
Otherwise, I really like this compressor. It is much quieter than others that I have owned.
