Review: Air compressor for home use - The Dewalt D55168 air compressor doesn't take up much garage space, and is not as noisy as other brands. I purchased this factory reconditioned compressor mostly to fill a portable air tank used for adjusting the tire pressure on our vehicles but also to be used to run some air tools occasionally, etc. This compressor is continuous duty, but the instruction sheet advises not running the compressor more than 35 - 40 minutes each hour to extend the compressor life. Maintenance is minimal for this compressor as the tank needs to be drained after use to remove the water that accumulated in the tank. The power switch can be set to either "off", or "automatic on" setting which kicks the compressor on at 175 psi and kicks off at 210 psi. The compressor takes around 6 minutes to fill the tank, then turns on and off automatically as the air is used. The working pressure to the air hose is adjustable with a knob on the front panel where the tank pressure, and working pressure gauges are located. Extension cords can be used, but are NOT recommended, instead use additional air hose which should be rated at 300 psi. Overall this compressor is compact, easy to move, easy to use, fills quickly, and has good working pressure for use in and around the garage!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to paint a vehicle?**
A: Yes... IF you take your time!  Don't pretend to paint it as fast as it could be done with a Professional equipment and a larger compressor, but it can be done, certainly.To help this compressor reach the desired results, try to optimize your installation: Use at least 3/8" I.D. hose not too long (less than say, 30 ft.), good full diameter fittings and a large enough (Flow wise) filter-regulator. The modification of the Air inlet filter on the compressor that I mentioned in my comment also helps to achieve a little more flow out of the compressor.  Before starting to think about using this compressor, do check your paint gun CFM requirements, but being careful you can "administer" your air usage and then complete the fullcar painting. Amclaussen.

**Q: How would this fair in an attic?  i want to place mine up there. it gets cold in indy in the winter. garage is insulated, attic is not?**
A: Speaking from experience with a Campbell Hausfeld in an unheated garage in northwest Ohio, if it gets cold enough, the pistons in the compressor will not seal properly and will not compress the air. This can easily be corrected by use of a heat gun, hair dryer, or propane torch to gently heat the compressor head for about 20 seconds or so if you see the gauges failing to read any pressure after running for a few moments. After that, the compressor will keep itself warm simply by running. You may want to reconsider the attic if the compressor will be someplace hard to reach and performing the above fix will prove difficult.

**Q: I'd this certified with nsf?**
A: Yes, the D55168 is NSF Approved.

**Q: Does a air hose come with the item purchased? If so, how long is it?**
A: No air hose or anything else comes with the compressor.

### ⭐⭐⭐ DeWalt made a great shop product and then didn't think enough of it to protect it during shipment.
*by R***E on April 12, 2024*

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.
