found in C3551's reviews: way to go porter cable BEST MACHINE ON THE MARKET - this my 2nd aircompressor matter fact I was building a arbor for the back yard after pressure was reached for nailgun I work over 1 hour before the compressor recycled the only problem I have had is to set the pressure on the nail gun after about 2 tries it worked perfect. I really like the idea on the removeable gauge face the compressor stay in 1 spot and 50 to 100 feet you can attact the face to a fixed object so you can save on trips back to the compressor when you need another nailgun as in replaceing the framer to finishing gun . 1 man carpenter - I received the compressor from amazon with no defects. I do like the extra pressure to drive the nails in hard lumber. I run the compressor at 115 psi for the pasolode. The compressor does need time to build pressure to keep up with my 1 gun for nailing plywood. The compressor does have a quick recovery 10 to 15 seconds to cutoff so I'm able to nail with short breaks. For every other aspect of framing this compressor is a 5 star. And I know that the compressor rated at 4. The compressor is rated properly. The compressor does run quieter than the oiless compressor I did have. I am very happy with the compressor and can live with the short breaks during the nailing of plywood. Good mid-range job compressor. - My old dual tank wheel barrow-style compressor that I bought at Truitt and White Lumber in Berkeley lasted for ten years of moderate but daily use in my remodeling business. When that finally broke down I bought a pancake compressor as a quick fix, since I was doing more and more design work and gradually easing my way into retirement. So I decided to purchase this mid-range compressor.
As described below, the compressor is not the most durable. The pressure adjustment dial still sticks and comes off when you pull it out to adjust pressure. But overall, it's been a good handy compressor that I would recommend for anyone who is not engaged in heavy duty framing and running the thing 8 hours a day for months and years on end. For that you need the old double-tank wheelbarrow style compressor. Performs to expectations -
My C3551 arrived with a defective tank pressure guage. According to the output regulator, the cut-off pressure was right at 150 pounds and cut-in was near 120 pounds. I specifically wanted an oil lube compressor for durability, and this model fits that requirement. For handyman work or specialty trim nailing, this compressor is ideal. Excellent Compressor for Framing or Finish Work - Lots of pressure and quick recovery powering my Hitachi NR83A2. A bit slow running an airfile. Good value- I am happy with this compressor. Good idea, but a bit more durabilty would be nice - I've been using this compressor for about 2 years of daily remodeling work in Colorado in all weather conditions. I bought it because I was tired of lugging around other compressors that didn't have wheels. The rolling design of this compressor is very good because it can easily go up and down stairs as well as over typical construction site obstacles.
After a few months of use the tank pressure gauge failed, and Porter Cable sent me a replacement.
After a year of use the motor kept tripping breakers, so I took the compressor in for service and it received a new compressor and motor.
I work on job sites that have ancient compressors that continue to function flawlessly (but they're really heavy to move around), so I'm a bit worried by the problems I've noticed in only 2 years of use.
Because this compressor is oil lubricated, it does get sluggish in the winter. It also cannot supply as much air as the oil-free version. A trim subcontractor I know has the oil-free version and he has to rebuild his compressor annually with a $40 repair kit, so oil free isn't entirely without issues.
If you already have a compressor you like, I'd bolt some good wheels onto it and weld a nice handle onto the frame.
Update: The tank pressure gauge broke again, but I decided not to replace it. mine came damaged too! - The main pressure gauge was sheared off (behind the control panel) and the frame was dented and air filter busted. Great compressor for the size - After owning a craftsman 4gal unit, and have it malfunction on the first use (relief valve stuck open, not letting pressure build) and returning it, I looked into a better replacement. The Porter-Cable C3551 is a very nice compressor - I have a few compressors already - but they are too big and bulky to move around and my previous smaller 10 gallon compressor is getting a bit rough around the edges. 10 years old for a oil-less compressor is a pretty good.
With that said I wanted a new smaller compressor to aid in the remodel work I'm doing.
Upon receiving the compressor I gave it a quick once over.
The performance of the compressor is very good. After the 20 minute no pressure breakin, I immediately put it to work. It fills quick, cycles infrequently, and is fairly quiet.
I think this is one of the best small compressors out there. If you need a nice portable compressor - look no further. For me it came down to the DEWALT D55155 or this compressor.

found in D55151's reviews: User friendly compressor - This is probably the best small compressor I have owned. It is very user friendly, relatively quiet and it comes up to full pressure rapidly.Previous small compressors I have owned were oiless types and were prone to freeze up under prolonged use. Packaging major problem - I'm sure the compressor will prove to be a great reliable workhorse, fired it up and it's not too loud, held the pressure. My problem has been receiving 3 damaged compressors.
