DEWALT Pancake Air Compressor, 6 Gallon, 165 PSI (DWFP55126)

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.

I have used porter cable pancake compressors for years, but when my last one went out I decided to upgrade to this one. It seems marginally quieter. I like the ease of the pressure regulating as you just have to twist the dial to the setting, but wish it had an actual physical gauge on the outlet. This compressor has been tossed around for a couple months now and been left out in the rain plenty. No problems, seems like it will hold up. These type of compressors are good for nail guns and such, not impact guns. They will keep us with a framing gun but will require a little patience on sheeting.

Awesome compressor, thumps up!!!!

Very easy to use, has a convenient size, and works as expected. I've used it several times, and it delivers good results.

Very easy to set and read the controls. Very compact but does the job well. I wish it had wheels on the bottom, though. I release the air from the tank at the end of every use, and I want to warn you— it is very loud when you do that.

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.

Purchased from Amazon as a one day deal. After several months of research and even holding out past Black Friday, I am very pleased with this so far. $120 for the compressor was a steal. Product was delivered on time and in good condition as expected. Setup was fairly straightforward, needed to do some research regarding fittings myself. The compressor comes ready to go if you already have the correct fittings which I didn't have. It requires 1/4 NPT fittings and ended up getting middle of the road Husky accessory kit from HD. I also purchased a Husky 3/8 100ft PVC hose as well. The hose takes the 1/4 NPT fittings(most common) as well. After reading other reviews, I purchased yellow Teflon(for gases apparently) and have applied it to all the threads of the kit and even to the (J) part of the DeWalt compressor, as some have stated this part leaks. Mine did not, but figured I might as well to eliminate this in the future. Read the manual and started the compressor right up. It cut off at 165-170psi. Used it intially to fill tires on my vehicle. The compressor cut in at 130-135psi as expected. Fills up fast from empty and doesn't take long from 135psi obviously. I left it filled and after 6hrs or so, had lost about 15psi(150psi overall). It's my first compressor so I'm not sure if that amount of loss is normal, but this is why I chose to Teflon the threads (J) part of compressor. Have not tested if it is still losing that minimal amount of psi after the new Teflon, but will update when I do. It's recommended you drain after every use and that is pretty straight forward as well, just twist the release and let it run. Close the valve when it's done. As for noise, I have to say I'm very impressed. Using my Father's 20gal Craftsman in the past, this is definitely quieter, although that was a much larger tank, more Horsepower, and obviously for my serious applications. Planning to use this as a small shop compressor (tires, nail guns, etc.), I'm comfortable saying after all the reviews I've read, this will handle those tasks more than adequately. The build quality seems on par for it's price point. You obviously do pay a little bit more for the DeWalt name, but I must admit this compressor so far is worth it. For an extra $20 I like knowing that this comes from a very reputable company. Overall yes, I would recommend this to every DIYer/weekend warrior/hobbyist. It won't disappoint you as long you have reasonable expectations regarding its capabilities and limitations.

They got to me over nite . I love that I can Dial to psi on the fro t its not to heavy for me to lift I’m and 84 great grandma . It’s loud easy to use . And I hope it holds for awhile as I’m still doing scrimshaw and carving not retired yet . So I hope it lasts a few years longer ! Ordered another well known compressor the last one lasted me 9 yrs . New one same model didn’t last over and hr so returned . Thanks Amazon ! Return was smooth but reason I ordered dewalt a name I trust .

Muy buen compresor , liviano para transportar , buena capacidad pintura y carpinteria

This air compressor is quiet, powerful and does the job. I really like it fits on my work bench and doesn’t take up much room. But performs well.

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

Great product by DeWalt once again. Recommended

Muy buen producto, más de 5 años y sigue funcionando. Muy buena relación calidad precio. Actualizo 15 de diciembre del 2023 murió. Se quemo el motor, aún así el tiempo que duro, iso un bien trabajo, me refiero a sopletear y usarla con clavadora, engrapadora y accesorios con bajo consumo de aire. Para pintar no servía muy bien, para eso usan una más grande.
