Customer Reviews for DEWALT 1 Gal. Portable Electric Trim Air Compressor

I love this compressor ! It's lightweight , quiet and does a great job. Great little compressor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this compressor because I needed something light weight to carry up flights of stairs to install baseboard in a three story apartment building. Compressor is very quiet compared to compressors of comparable price and size. What I like best is the low amp draw as the building Im working in has older wiring circuts. This compressor has not tripped a breaker yet even when using it for an eight hour day. My only disappointment would be that the tank is to small to us as a compressor to spray drywall through a hopper. As a trim compressor I highly reccommend it.

Love this thing. It's not so loud and perfect indoors.

Seems to be a good little (and I stress little) compressor. It’s very lightweight - no heavier than a carryon bag. I do wish I’d spent a little more and gotten the 2.5 gallon Dewalt - I bought my done the larger size a few years back as a Christmas present. I like the size of it better.

Bought this compressor for my wife for her upholstery stapling work. I find myself stealing it for my projects as it so portable and easy to carry around, instead of hauling my pancake style compressor around. It only has a small tank so best used for small finish nail projects.

this item did not work. when fully pressured, the regulator leaked all of the air off immediately. i had to cancel a days work and drive over 2 hours to return it. very inconvenient. i was able to buy replacement.

This compressor worked as advertised. I bought it so I wouldn’t need to drag the larger unit from my shop around to do smaller jobs in the rest of the house and yard. Have used it several times and I am pleased with it’s performance. A handy unit if you keep in mind the small tank will limit the jobs it can do.

I received my Dewalt compressor and was surprised by the power. I shot nails through 2 in boards and it nearly went clean to other side. During this test phase it never ran out of air.

Using this to air up tires on my motor home. Needed a low profile compressor to air up any low tires while on the road in rv. Unit is very low profile plus will air up my 80 psi tires. The unit stowes away under my jack knife sofa in my rv. Perfect for my needs.

Nice compressor. Runs smoothly....

Very happy with this compressor very quiet nice and compact and light easy to move from site to site.

I needed something light to work with. This 1 gal. compressor did the trick. It's very light and easy to handle.

I have used this compressor for years at work and decided to get one myself. It is good for inflating bike and car tires, balls (soccer, basektball, etc). Cleaning dust off computers. Quiet compressor when on, fills the tank within a few minutes and is not too heavy, thanks to the handles. Good solid construction, good finish (should last a lifetime with care). You need to purchase the nozzle and hose accessories separately. I would not use for high pressure work (like spray paint), but for general home use, it is a great buy.

I purchased this compressor thinking it was the same as the older model that looked just like it. WRONG! Don't let the looks fool you. While it is light weight it is loud, slow to build up pressure and/or fill it's own tank. Will not run if the temperature is too cold. And cycles back on too quickly. The previous model did not suffer from any of these issues. This tool has been a major disappointment.

Exactly what I was looking for. Small, light wt., powerful. The switch is on the side and thus less accessible, but a minor issue. I like to store it in the upright position so some rubber feet on the bottom like those already on it would protect the frame from my concrete garage floor. Love it.

I bought one of these about three years ago just to have a little compressor that would fit in my tool box It worked very well for about 3 years Handy light weight pretty quiet untill today when it started making strange noise and stopped pumping air I guess its time to go back to an oil lubricated compressor

I bought this Air compressor two month ago , Its very quiet , and it works perfectly fine .

Bought this a few weeks ago because I wanted a lightweight compressor with some build quality. Have a few Dewalt tools so went by the name. Didn't need a new nailer or hose thrown in either. So far, so good. Quiet, portable, well designed. But as with all tools, time will tell.....

Lightweight, quiet, & the price was OK. My only gripes are that it isn't designed to stand on the end [taking less floor space], it didn't come with a quick disconnect that didn't squirt air when the hose is removed. I added one. But both the original quick disconnect and the replacement are tall enough that if the compressor falls on the side where they are mounted, damage will probably occur. The quick disconnect should be re-positioned.

Quiet quiet quiet, the way a compressor is expected to run! Smooth operation with plenty of compression, perfect for anybody who owns a home or where light to moderate air is desired. Vary portable Light & Easy to store. Very happy and pleased with purchase.

Works great

Good product for the price. Works well for PSI over 90 on my motor home. Light enough to carry easily and small enough to fit into motorhome storage compartment. Quiet although it takes a a few minutes on tires this size at these pressures to elevate several degrees.

I have always liked dewalt this compressor has not lost air at its still at 120 lbs now for two weeks my old senco lost air right away I would recommend this to any one

This compressor has become my go to for quick nailing jobs and trim work because of it light weight and fast fill and recovery.

Met my need for portable trim nailer.

Great compressor ! Perfect size for job sites, light weight, with plenty of power and very quiet running would recommend carrying in stores would sell a lot of them.

Easy to use, runs quiet, perfect size to move from place to place.Judes
