Superb compressor
Don't let the word "reconditioned" scare you off from purchasing this...the one I got looked and operated like it was brand new. The compressor is great and relatively quiet for what it's rated for and the size. This is probably one of the easier compressors to carry around to job sites. The layout of the gauges and hookups are good as with the drain plug. With Emglo's name behind it, this Dewalt compressor should withstand abuse and should last for years. Definitely value for the money.

disappointed
I am a general contractor and tradesman who has used DeWalt tools for many years. I have always been satisfied with them and when I have had a problem I have always received excellent support at the local DeWalt service center. The compressor unit I just received had the manual, oil and dipstick in a separate package in the box with the compressor. For some reason they sent the wrong dipstick that did not fit my unit. Besides not fitting tightly in the unit, the measuring portion of the dipstick did not read the oil level properly. I was able to get it replaced at no charge at my local service center but if I had depended on the wrong dipstick to gage the oil in the unit I would have burned up the compressor and as it says in the manual, you are not covered if you run your units low on oil.

It didn't work
It didn't work. Right out if the box the motor was seized. I never got a chance to test it. oh well.

Another Great Deal From DeWalt
Over the years I had bought several reconditioned tools from DeWalt. The 18v DW995 Drill, Saws-All, DW959 SkilSaw among others. My DeWalt D55155R Compressor arrived as new in the box in perfect condition. ***YOU NEED TO ADD OIL BEFORE COMPRESSOR IS STARTED*** AS STATED IN 2 OR 3 PLACES!!!
DeWalt quality is superb and their reconditioned tools are redone in house with better quality checks that their new tools. You just can't go wrong.

10
This compressor is not a 5 but a 10!!!! brand new and not a mark on it.

Leaks
So much for being remanufactured. Mine had a leak in one of the gauages. Don't waste your time with this piece of junk.
