I got the compressor in about 2 days, seeing as it came from North Texas, so yay Amazon! After reading some of the reviews, I was a little weary, but it looked in new condition and all the knobs and switches worked (on/off switch seemed oddly loose, but I think that's by design). BEWARE!!! I read the English part of the manual cover to cover, and there was absolutely NO MENTION of the "break-in" procedure; thankfully, at least one other reviewer did mention it so it made me suspicious. Upon going to the DeWalt site and downloading the manual for this exact model, I did find the section for the break-in period, and it even warns you NOT to skip it (basically run the compressor for 15 minutes with the drain plug open and then close the drain plug to let it come to full pressure). I did use the compressor once to run a nailgun, and it worked pretty well. Not as quiet as some, but certainly not as noisy as others. Other reviewers were correct about having to tilt it 45 degrees in order to drain the tank; it even alludes to that in the manual. I did notice during the break-in period the tank got hot (or at least very warm); I don't know if that's normal or not, my last compressor didn't, but I don't think I ran it enough for that to happen. I also did opt for the 300 psi rated hose, but I got mine at a local store. Make sure you get some 1/4" quick disconnects and make sure you get at least a 3/8" diameter hose (the diameter bit is straight from the manual)! So far, I definitely like this compressor (oil-free rocks!). I took one star away because of the seemingly missing section of the manual, which is my main concern right now. I will post an update if I find out anything new about this, but for now, here is the link for the manual from the Dewalt Site: UPDATE: 8/12/2015 As I was reading through some of my old reviews, I realized I've had this thing for 5 years! Still going strong, and I while I don't use it every day, it's there when I need it. Only thing I've had to do so far was to replace some seals (easy, with a kit) on the knobs. Definitely glad I got this thing. [...] EDIT 7/21/20 I've had this for 10 years, and still working! I had to rebuild the seals (easy procedure), but the compressor still runs! Great buy.

Excellent compressor. Great price.
