Customer Reviews for DEWALT 6 Gal. 165 PSI Electric Pancake Air Compressor

It leaks and you can hear air escaping in the pancake. I’m returning it.

I’m very happy that I bought this nail gun and compressor, will recommend to friends and family.

i havent had a chance to use the nailer yet but im sure i will perform the way i expect it to

Love this compressors have used it a couple of times

A friend of mine bought this and gave it to me after I borrowed it quite a few times. For a homeowner having a little pancake air compressor helps SO MUCH around the house! I've used the brad nailer so much and it's been an absolute joy. My only wish is for a longer factory hose like 50ft and throwing in an air nossel for blowing stuff in the garage would be a nice bonus.

My 5 year old Husky started sparking and began to catch fire. I barely used it but maybe 3 times a year to air up tires. Hunk of junk. Bought this dewalt and Im very happy so far. Here is what I notice right away - much quieter than that junk husky. Id say probably less than 1/2 as loud. Make no mistake, all air compressors make noise. Also, i set mine to 120psi. Filled up my jeep mud tires 35s within seconds. This dewalt delivers some air. Im happy that i down sized to a 6 gallon from my previous 30 gallon. I think it could run my nail gun, but i would guess that youd want a larger one for that daily use with a framing nailer. Very light weight. For as seldom as i use a compressor, i hope this one actually lasts. I use all battery impacts now, so i do not use a compressor like i use to. I say that so you consider my above review with that in mind.

Bought at a major box store. I am just past my one year warranty. Have used the compressor for my truck and boat trailer tires only. I am retired and do not need a compressor to fish or listen to the radio. On the fifth (5th) time I used the compressor the motor fan blades came apart, some blades exited the unit in chunks, and the unit shut off - never to restart again. So, it failed on the 5th use.

I used this to replace the baseboards in my kids room and it's such an amazing tool. I suggest for folks to read the manuals first even if you have used it before. It's easy to use, not too heavy, and for the price you get a Brad nailer. It's honestly worth it.

The compressor works perfectly. I'm using it at the moment for spraying multiple coats of finish on a guitar and it works fine. Since it doesn't have a delivery pressure gauge, I have a little in-line one just before the spray gun. After spraying for a minute or two it kicks on. I'm pretty sure it could keep up with my little sprayer but I just wait and let it come back up to pressure, which it does in about a half a minute. So far I'm happy with it.

Great. Met my need +

So far so good! So convenient to have one I can move around so easily compared to the much larger one I had on wheels. Only issue I’m seeing is that it seems to spew tiny black splatters onto the tank when it’s running - not sure why that is. So I wipe that off w/a rag - wish it didn’t do that though.

the setting for what pressure regulator not working correctly. If set for 90 it keeps going . i have to turn off to stop it.

DeWALT is a well known brand and yellow is my favorite color. This one is comparably quiet and quite powerful for its size, not to mention two hose fittings for added tools. I think it will be just great for my needs.

good compressor. not too heavy and not too noises.

So far so good. Haven’t had it very long, but so far, works well. Nailer is very good. Solid. Hose does not kink up.

It works well, holds pressure well. It is pretty loud.

Great PSI, and extremely lightweight! My wife of 84 pounds was carrying it with one hand.

Works well but capacity is insufficient to power a nailing gun as compressor constantly starts up to attempt to maintain proper pressure. This is a Hitachi framing nailing gun. It will wear out fast.

Perfect combination of compressor, hose and nailer.
