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.

Works great for it's size if you are doing indoor finishing work this one will get it done. Its not to heavy a bit loud but that's not an issue.

This was a great purchase.

Its worth the money.

I've been using this Dewalt (DWFP55126) 165 PSI, 6 gallon, pancake air compressor weekly for almost a year. The One I have has the yellow handle and the two white faced needle gauges. Apparently now there is a lower quality version 2 out there. My first impression when taking this out of the box was not the best. The compressor is not snug to the tank. There is some play. Every time you pick it up by the handle there is a slight shift and a thud. It moves maybe a 1/4", but it's enough to give you that shock feeling the tank is about to fall off. I almost thought about exchanging it, but everything else with the unit was fine and didn't want to go through the hassle of back/forth shipping. The unit overall is pretty good. I like the built in cord holder, regulator, two outlets, dual gauges, large rubber feet, and quarter turn (presumably brass ball valve) drain valve. This is overkill for my regular usage which is to keep tire pressures on point weekly. But I wanted a unit capable of 150 PSI with at least a 5 gallon tank for any time that I may need it around the garage or for a home project. My motivating factor in purchasing this unit was to replace my Porter Cable C2002 which has nearly identical specs to this Dewalt one. It was a couple of years past the printed tank expiration date and was extremely loud. I've been using Porter Cable C2002 air compressors for years at work and at home, and I have been very happy with their quality and performance. The only things that I wanted improved upon from the Porter Cable C2002 was the noise level, the screw type drain valve, and better rubber feet. The Dewalt DWFP55126 seemed to be the solution. It has a noise rating of 75.5 dBA compared to Porter Cable's 82 dBA, better rubber feet, and a better drain valve. Sadly I wish I had ponied up more and gone with one of the ultra quiet air compressors like the ones from Campbell Hausfeld, California Air Tools, or Stealth that are rated at only 60-68 dBA, but at the time it was tough to justify spending double the price to save 10 dBA. Now I am starting to think the lower dBA would have been money well spent on something that I will be using weekly for years to come.

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 .

I am thrilled with the performance of the compressor I recently purchased. Right from the first use, it proved to be a powerful and reliable equipment. I was pleasantly surprised by its ability to reach the desired pressure quickly, significantly enhancing efficiency in my tasks. Moreover, the noise level is remarkably low compared to other models I've used in the past, making its operation much more comfortable. Highly recommend this compressor for anyone looking for a top-notch tool!

Amazon Prime as always was great. Quick delivery and even faster return with replacement compressor. No problem there at all. The first compressor leaked after filling it up. It would drop 25 PSI in about 20 minutes and continue to drop. I returned it to Amazon and they had a replacement out in 2 days. I filled the replacement compressor up and it leaked even faster than the first one. There are only three (3) connections associated with the tank that can leak. Two were leaking. I put some soapy water on the connection coming out of the Tank and it immediately began to blow bubbles. I put some soapy water on the connection going to the gauges and it blew bigger bubbles. I did not check any more of the gauge connections or the drain. I was going to return the Dewalt compressor to Amazon again but then decided that if it could be fixed I would go that route. I did not want to get a third compressor that leaked. A Dewalt factory service center is only 15 minutes from my house so I decided to drop it off. I should get it back in 5 to 7 days and hopefully that will be the end of it, if not I will return it and buy a Makita. It seems that Dewalt must have some new factory workers that have not been trained correctly or there is a QC problem somewhere along the line. Somewhere in manufacturing there is a solution to the problem. Two leaking compressors in a row only tells me that there are a lot more in the pipeline. --------------------------------------------------- Got the compressor back from the factory service center after only 3 days. The compressor filled quickly to 165 psi and then over the course of about 3 hours dropped to 150 psi where it remained for 24 hours which is when i stopped watching it. I am satisfied with the fix that Dewalt made and look forward to using it. I would upgrade the star rating other than the hassle I had to go through on a brand new compressor.

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

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.

Works well! I love how compact it is. I use this to clean my fridge vents.

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.

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.
