I should have read the reviews first, everyone is right, it showed up with shipping damage. The plastic housing covering the motor was all busted up and parts got stuck in the motor fan, I seem to have it running now, but wish I could get a replacement cover without having to pay for it from Dewalt parts center. Packaging should be WAY better. It is frustrating as a LOT of my amazon orders have been showing up damaged lately.

The delivery was made in a timely fashion and the compressor itself seemed to be exactly what I wanted for my needs. It had the right size capacity and portability to take care of my needs. I am replacing an older 40 gal. compressor which has served me well for many years, but finally gave up the ghost.I read the reviews that warned that a number of these compressors were delivered with damage. I rolled the dice and sure enough it came with the leg or stand all bent from a severe blow or drop. The shroud was shattered, and the air filter was broken off as well as most of the hardware was missing. The box looked as if it had been taped back together multiple times during its journey and was quite misshapen from what you would expect. There was lots of tape holding it together. The packaging material inside the box was badly crushed and some was even missing all together. It was very disappointing to see that DeWalt did such a poor job of packaging a heavy piece of equipment like this.I tried to get them to send replacements for the broken or missing parts, but that was not an option. The only option that was offered was to return it for a refund. Amazon offered no other option but to accept delivery and pay for the repairs myself. DeWalt said that they couldn't do anything because it was not beyond the 90-day threshold of responsibility. The compressor is now sitting in my shop waiting for a return pickup, and I am waiting for a refund which may not come for 3 to 4 weeks. Worst of all, I am still without a working shop compressor.

Unit works Great so far but upon opening i discovered a chunk missing out of the Belt cover…. not a small sized hole, so far no luck with amazon in terms of recourse, not sure how to move forward, i don’t want major issues down the road but the return process is lengthy.EDIT: originally 3 stars, i have decided to bump this to 5 stars, Dewalt sent me a replacement unit, no questions asked, replacement unit arrived in 1 week , very happy with the level of customer service, truly changed my opinion on the purchase

It ran well for the first year or so but then threw a piston by year two....too much money for something that won't last....and I don't use it that much which is disappointing. I bought because I believed dewalt was a dependable brand.....I was proven wrong.

The only reason I give it a 4 star is the hose pressure valve is terrible. I live in a colder climate and the hose pressure valve is really hard to turn when it is cold out. I had to put a half inch of hockey tape on it so I can turn the hose on or off. Other than that one thing, this is great unit. It powers all of my tools like it should, and it is quieter than I expected.

I received my new Dewalt D55168 Air Compressor yesterday via UPS. It arrived sooner than listed on the the Amazon website, as is so typical for Amazon, kudos to Amazon for quick delivery of items ordered.After installing the wheels and rubber pads, I let it run for 15 minutes with the bottom valve open to break it in as some had suggested. The thing I noticed right away was how much quieter it is than the old 20 gal compressor I got from my dad. It had rusted through on the bottom of the tank so I needed a replacement. It is not whisper quiet but definitely quieter than the old one it replaced.After some research on different air compressors, what impressed me about this one was the CFM of 5. A few years ago I had a smaller compressor before getting the one from my dad. The smaller one did not handle the air powered ratchet that I had purchase so the higher CFM is nice to have.Having read a few reviews with one mentioning they did not get the bolts for the wheels and rubber pads, when I opened the box and did not find a package of bolts I was concerned, but when I removed the wheels from the styrofoam there they were under the wheel. A couple of reviews mentioned about the unit rocking because the front floor bracket was out of alignment, but mine was fine, so they either resolved the problem, or it traveled better in shipping than theirs did.When I closed the drain valve on the bottom, after the 15 minute break-in period, I let it come up to full pressure; it took a good 4 - 5 minutes to shut off. I was getting a little concerned when it went past 200 psi, but it did finally stop at 215 psi.I had a leak in the regulator valve, but otherwise everything was fine. I did a little research on the Internet and found how to install a Repair Kit, which Amazon carries, so I contacted customer support. They refunded me the cost of the repair kit. I opened up the pressure regulator today and re-greased it with silicone grease (don't get silicone sealant by mistake) and then put it back together and it is working just fine, but I will get the kit so I have it should it start to leak again.Yesterday I had turned the regulator valve to 0 so it would not leak, but there must have been a slow leak as after approx 2 1/2 hours I heard it start up again.When I attached my hose there is a slight leak in the connector, so I just disconnected it and left the power on and I left the regulator set at 90 psi to see how long before the compressor starts up again, after about 1 hour I just heard the compressor kick in. It took less than 1 minute to recover to full pressure.I am very pleased with the compressor and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality air compressor with quick recovery and a high CFM rating of 5.

After having read the very mixed reviews, I ordered this one anyway. It was delivered promptly, but the box it came in looked like it had gone through a tornado. Ripped and torn, crushed, and obviously damaged. My secretary accepted delivery. Upon opening, I discovered no owners manual, in addition to SMASHED back legs. The fact that it had been dropped from some height was obvious. The needle in the pressure gauge had been "bounced" so hard that it was resting on the wrong side of the zero peg, and consequently would not move with an increase in air pressure. I had to drill a hole in the plastic face of the gauge to "fish" the needle over the peg to the correct side using a very small wire. Straightening out the legs was another matter. With the aid of a hammer and giant crescent wrench I got the legs back into an acceptable position, although it still rocks a little. Doing so however caused quite a bit of scuffing and paint loss. I considered returning the Item, but now minus one acceptable box, I figured it just wasn't the hassle. It did pump up to 200 lbs. once I got it repaired. Now, we'll see if it lasts.. If it makes it a year, I will change the rating to 3 stars. The only reason I bought this one is because of the 15 gal tank and the 200 psi to maintain my skidsteer tires. I expect this machine to have only sporadic use. So.... we'll seeBruce Marron, Fort Morgan, Co.

I bought this compressor because my previous Husky brand had died on me. I had a 26 gallon before that always had troubles, so I was a little skeptical about going down in size to a 15 gallon tank. I am a believer now. I'm not a scientist or good at math, but somehow the extra psi on this tank helps it perform much better. It is relatively quiet for an air compressor, and charges faster than most compressors. It out performs the bigger compressors out there, and charges at a higher psi than others, so you always have psi on hand for your projects. I use it a lot for vaccum chucking which requires constant air flow, and blowing off parts and such. I also have used it for nailers, and wow!, it makes the tools perform at their best as well.Some people have complained about the valve on the bottom of the tank. This is not a problem for me, I still have a good back. It is not a pull-out like many, it is a switch that you twist. Really very easy, not sure why people complain about that.Dewalt/ Emglo have made a great compressor here, and I hope they continue to make it in the future.One last thing, if you are running a big shop that needs lots of air, this is obviously not for you. But if you have a garage or small shop that you will need a solid, reliable compressor, then this is the one!ACME tools is awesome, great company and very very fast!
