Le compresseur fonctionne très bien mais un peu déçu car au prix qu’il vaut, il est arrivé avec un trou dans la boîte ce qui a occasionné un manque de peinture sur un petite partie. Aussi il est arrivé poussiéreux comme s’il avait déjà été utilisé.

    power on, build up tank pressure automatically, then turn on regulated pressure to blow out water in sprinkler. It can maintain the regulated pressure of 50PSI for 1 to 2 minutes for one of zones.
    It takes 4-6 minutes to build up tank pressure before blowing out next zone. I use it once a year, so it is fine for me.

    its a little bulky because its round which can make it feel heavier then the 30 lbs it is ... I still find its easy to handle ... noise not bad (75.5 db) much less then my Makita 4 gallon twin tank model also a lot lighter the main reason for buying this unit .. for smaller inside jobs will be using this one for sure ... I ran my framing nailer no problem .. did some interior walls ... also have done roofing and it kept up with both guns .... didn't run much either with 6 gallon tank and 165 psi tank pressure doesn't need to. Unit is oil Free so you can sit it on an angle if needed and u don't have to worry about it burning up the pump because there is no oil. Keep it in clear area with good air flow and I think this will last a long time ... it does have a fan that blows past the pump to keep it cool .. if your pushing it ... you will get hot air blowing off the fan so good air flow is important. Takes about 3 minutes from empty to fill up and you will get a burn smell the first time.

    I got the compressor today and have run it for 25 minutes with the tank drain open to break in the compressor. It appears to run fine but it is quite noisy and has a lot of vibration (spinning clock wise wrapping on it's power cord. It pressures up to 160 lbs quickly. The rubber hose that connects the compressor to the tank gets quite hot while the compressor is running. UPDATE - I have run this compressor for a few weeks now. It runs well but I would not run it in the house, too noisy but it is fine for the garage.

    Nice little pancake air compressor. Higher psi than my 240 volt shop compressor. Fills quickly and nice cfm. Two outlets is handy. Still up to pressure after a week of sitting. Only with is that there was a gauge on the outlet pressure, can't always trust the dial adjustment indicator.

    El compresor Dewalt es de un tamaño que facilita su transporte sin ser muy pesado lo que lo vuelve muy util donde otros compresores al ser mas voluminosos y pesados dificulta su transporte, es tambien en su segmento uno de los compresores que mas presión puede dar sino es el que mas, lo vuelve especialmente útil para inflar llantas de vehículos o camionetas pesados cuando la llanta aun esta montada ya que al tener que soportar el peso encima se requiere de buena presión para inflarlo adecuadamente y este compresor cumple con ese trabajo en términos generales es un excelente compresor para un uso domestico y al tener 2 salidas para manguera te permite conectar 2 accesorios volviéndolo aun mas versátil y tambien debo agregar que si bien hay algunos compresores mas silenciosos este no es demasiado ruidoso incluso te permite tener una conversación con alguien en el mismo lugar sin alzar demasiado la voz del tono normal cuando el motor esta encendido y por el precio me parece que es una buena opción ya que la calidad Dewalt esta entre las mejores del mercado, hay opciones similares a un precio mas competitivo tambien son buena opción pero este modelo en especifico no te decepcionará

    My old clunky compressor of 30 years finally died. I wanted a new one that was portable, but still strong enough to use for larger jobs not jus inflate tires and balls. The reviews on this one was good so that's what I chose. Great decision! It's small enough to transport in the suv if I need to, and large enough to spray paint my 2 story house. I love the size, weight, strong motor, 2 hose hookups, and ease of use, Oh! and it is not all that loud.

    As someone who's constantly tackling various projects around the house, I've gone through my fair share of tools, but the DEWALT 6 Gallon Compressor has quickly risen to the top of my favorites list. This unit, which comes in at a manageable 30 pounds, is a cinch to move around, making it incredibly convenient for both indoor and outdoor tasks.

    The compressor is designed to handle a variety of uses, from drilling and air brushing to spraying and nailing, without breaking a sweat. The 165 max PSI and 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI pump mean you get long run times and quick recovery, which is crucial when you're in the middle of a project. Plus, the high-efficiency motor ensures that even in cold weather or when using an extension cord, start-up is hassle-free.

    I really appreciate the oil-free feature of this compressor, which equates to virtually no maintenance on my part—a huge plus for any busy DIYer. And with a 6-gallon capacity, I can work longer without having to stop and refill.

    Despite its power, the DEWALT compressor operates at a noise level of 75.5 dB, which is relatively quiet for such a robust tool. It's clear that DEWALT has put thought into the design, with a high flow regulator and couplers that maximize air tool performance, and a console cover that not only protects the controls but is also removable for easy repair.

    The addition of two universal couplers is fantastic for double teaming the fries and crumbs that fell between the seats in the car, as it can easily support two users. The ball drain valve is another feature I didn't know I needed, but it makes tank draining quick and effortless.

    Overall, the DEWALT 6 Gallon Compressor is a solid, reliable tool that's well-suited for anyone from the casual DIYer to the more serious home renovator. It's powerful, easy to use, and with DEWALT's reputation for durability, I expect to be using this compressor for many years to come.
