It kept up pretty good with my finish nail gun. Not too loud. The best thing about it is that it is small and relatively inexpensive!

it pumped air reasonably quiet, filled tank pretty fast, and I like its combination of style, size, weight, power....but air leaked from the control valve unless it was closed and then no air to the hose...so i had to return, store was helpful w/return, i still wanted this model so i ordered another one, fingers crossed

The tank is small, so keep that in mind when purchasing. It has a small recover time and is very quiet. If you want a small, quiet compressor this is it. I bought it just for bike tires and balls but I have begun to use it in worklife. I service computers on oil drilling rigs and I use this compressor to blow out the equipment. Sometimes I wish I had more air capacity but the size is perfect. I have this compressor, cordless drill, cordless impact and a cordless sawsall all from Dewalt and they all perform great. My next purchase will be a large capacity compressor from Dewalt.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Ordered this compressor mostly to use for keeping tires inflated. Have only used a few times, but the unit is simple to operate and seems to work well. I had to go out and purchase the air hose and connectors, it would be beneficial if Dewalt either included, offered as an option or provided information on what would be needed as this is the first compressor I have purchased.

I never used air tools before. I bought this compressor because it's a DeWalt and I have always liked their tools. The compressor is light, and small for easy storage. The one I biught came with 2 finish nailers, air hose and fittings for one great price. I have had no problems with it and is wonderful for home use and home cabinet projects. My wife loves it too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this in August 2011. This is strictly for home (projects around the house and inflating tires, balls and toys). I have used it with a Bostich 16 gauge trim gun a few times and it worked great. I got about 8-9 nails before it had to recover. I have a blow gun attachment also, but as described it is only good for short bursts, not blowing off a large project or workbench.
I'm most impressed at how quietly it runs. I've had pancake compressors before and this one is whisper quiet by comparison. I only gave it 4 stars because it has only been a few months and I haven't put it to a lot of use, but so far so good.

This unit was shipped to me in 1 week. It was pleasantly compact with a low profile to be placed anywhere in the garage. I had to purchase a few adapters for the hose and tools (which were not included. This purhcase included only the compressor unit.), the unit worked quietly without a hiccup.
I only have this unit for a few weeks now, but it appeared to be a fine unit with excellent value at just over $100.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This compressor is great for filling up tires and running small air tools. I've used it with my brad nailer with no problem. It's really portable and lightweight. The only downside is that it doesn't have enough capacity to be used for blowing off workbenches, or blowing debris out of the garage.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this compressor just to use around my house to do odd jobs, air up tires, etc. The compressor is great! It is the quietest compressore I have ever heard. I have used it to air up vehicle tires and to blow out the dirt in the back of a deep freeze. I purchased a Bostitch 18 guage brad nailer after getting the compressor, and it works great. With the low volume of air, I thought the compressor may have to run constantly, but it did not kick in until I had shot about 13 nails.
The only downside I have seen, is that I was going to use it to blow out my 20 by 20 garage, but the compressor can not handle constant use of a blow gun. The one gallon volume is just not enough. Like I said, I did use it to blow out a deep freeze with shorter bursts of air.
The compressor is built nicely and is extremely portable. I love it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this compressor to use while camping in my RV. The low profile and light weight were my two most factor for the choice. The compressor is perfect for every thing from airing up my load assist air bags on my truck to driving my brad and trim guns.
