60 Gal. 175 PSI Two Stage Stationary Electric Air Compressor

I have had this compressor since before Christmas have had it all connected and I love it . After 7 days with off still has pressure. Love it!

My 1st large stationary oil lube compressor and I’m impressed (class B motor not included). It arrived in great shape but took a 2nd delivery attempt to get lift gate with a super helpful driver! While I count on Dewalt to deliver, they can drive you crazy with contradictions over oil, warranties, power disconnects and so forth. After leveling and adjusting oil volume (over filled from factory) I followed break in procedure without any supprises. Electrical hook-up was overkill to my standards based on the best advice I could research. 6awg right up to the motor. I know from calling Dewalt the pressure switch alone eliminates the need for a power disconnect and the TOPS Motor eliminates installing a magnetic motor controller. If your happy with that set up and level of protection, great. Im not inclined to put that much faith in the TOPS Motor. The manual contradicts Dewalt and their warranty doubling maintance kit in that manual clearly specifies full synthetic (not blended) oil. Manual also specifies a power disconnect, again contradicting a Dewalt tech. Initially I followed Dewalts advice a used black pipe from HD. Having to go back to tighten a leaking joint in the worst possible location, I took a closer look at the pipe itself and was horrified by the rust, paint flakes and other contaminant inside the pipe do it all came down. I went with a MAXAIR 3/4” installation Kit so I can be assured if a clean system. Just hoping it was a good choice. Copper was not an option because best practices seem to require brazing joints, not soldering. The automatic drain seems like another good idea. Protective barrier added so I didn’t kick it. It can supprise you if your pressured up and standing close. I jump every time so far.

No solution from Dewalt yet. Still waiting. And of course, I'm in a time crunch with a project. Will update if they resolve the issue. A very dangerous situation until this was discovered.

No wiring instructions!

showed up quick, great build quality, looks great, functions flawlessly. very happy, would buy again

Dewalt was delivered with rusty pipe bushing. Tank insides appeared oiled and rust free. CSR sent replacement bushing ASAP. Mounted on 3 high durometer rubber feet to suppress vibration transmission. Noisy, but not near as loud as the Craftsman oil less it replaced and pressurizes to 170 psig very quickly. In service 6 months. So far, so good.

I have had this compressor for about 9 months now. I use it regularly with heavy duty tools like a 1" and 1/2 impact drivers, plasma cutter, grinders, cutting tools ect. I run it on a 30 amp breaker and I have had no problems whatsoever. This is probably the minimum size compressor I would recommend for mid to heavy duty shop use. Don't even look at single stage compressors. 175psi full, when used it will drop to about 130psi then it kicks on and fills back to 175psi. It takes about a minute to fill from 130psi. I dont like the plastic drain valve on bottom, but I have had no problems with it, it works perfectly so far. Overall I would definitely recommend this compressor. You should understand if you are looking at a compressor this size that you will need to either have or install a 220v power source and power cable as well as regulators, air dryer, valves and hoses or pressure lines.

Great compressor. No problems since purchase 3 months ago with intermittent home/hobby use with sand blast cabinet. Very pleased with Amazon delivery; delivered on time and as scheduled, removed from truck and used pallet jack to move compressor into my garage.
