We should have known better when the first thing we saw was the word "Emglo" emblazoned in black on that famous DeWalt yellow. Emglo’s half-century in the compressor business is evident in this model, and with a couple of small exceptions (we’ll get into that in a minute), we don’t think anyone could make a finer piece of air power. DeWalt/Emglo’s great new roll-cage shape protects your investment in the shop, in the truck and at the job site, and the gauges are easier to read than many we’ve squinted at over the years.) It has air aplenty for two nailers at once, and with that fast recovery, the job will get done in no time. Here’s to a great pairing of two great toolmakers. The package comes with the initial fill of DeWalt synthetic air compressor oil. Comes with the initial fill of DeWalt's synthetic air compressor oil.

MOTION PICTURE IA - The only thing I can say is EMGLO! I have been using Emglo compressors for over 15 years years now in the Motion Picture Industry and on the outside and I never would settle for less. I was a little skeptical at first when I saw Dewalt and Emglo had merged to make a new line. I must say I prejudged and thought well there goes the dependability and quality of Emglo's Compressors. However I had a chance to use one and you know what, it was an Emglo all the way and I purchased this little powerhouse that I can even use a conventional spray gun on it.
A pleasure to own! -

The biggest complaint I have about other compressors is the portability of them. This helps to center the weight to my body and I can then lug the compressor up several flights of stairs without passing out.

The main reason I bought this unit over cheaper compressors was the recommendation to the brand names of DeWalt and Emglo. I now see why others recommend the Dewalt and Emglo brand.
roofer wayne - I used many compressors in 28 years of roofing. This is my 3rd emglow and 2nd dewalt. My first emglo lasted 12 years. The only thing that was wrong with the first dewalt was the air regulator started leaking and had to be replaced. Other then that, it worked every day for two years so far,that with two or three roofing guns going which is like four framing guns and I did not notice it starving for air.
Great !!! - After reading the reviews on Emglo compressors, I decided to get this DeWalt compressor because of the compact design.
Emglo (Dewalt) compressor - I like the design of the old Emglos a lot better with the twin stacked tanks but I can live with this design. The reason why I bought this one over the Hitachi is it has a little more CFMs at 100psi and i have known the reputation the Emglos carry with them from seeing them on the job regularly. Overall this Emglo I mean Dewalt works really well and I'm pleased with it.
A nice small compressor - I bought this air compressor to do light construction work. I have a gas powered Emglo compressor and the quality is outstanding. It may cost a little more but you won't have to replace it like the other compressors.
DeWalt takes a classic to a new level - Originally I figured the CH had a higher air output, needed no oil changes,would work on slopes and start in cold weather.
1) First of all the Emglo name on the unit reassured me that I was getting a tool built by the industry leader with a great reputation for tough, dependable compressors. The first day on the job proved it with quick cycling times and ample air at all times.

In short, this is a serious tool for the professional contractor with loads of power(delivered air), durability, great design and looks. DeWalt took a classic, the Emglo 790, and improved the power output layout and design. My only complaint is the air release lever, an otherwise solid unit mounted on the underside of the tank. The opening is too narrow for your hand and the sharp stream of air can actually cut your skin. Hats off to DeWalt and Emglo for a match that combines legendary durability with great design.
A very good compressor -

While at the local hardware store I saw the DeWalt D55155 compressor and thought, "geez, you could not miss that compressor!" The bright yellow paint made this compressor stand out and then that's when I saw the name Emglo. I have had very good experience with Emglo and know their equipment is top notch.

DeWalt and Emglo have a winner.
Good compressor - I change oil every 2 or 3 months with Emglo synthetic oil to maximize the life of my purchase. Recommend to anyone looking for reliable portable air that will last.
Good Purchase - I also heard from Emglo which makes the unit for DeWalt.
Dewalt and Emglo make a complete package, great compressor! - The sleek design, the way it protects its gauges, and its 2 quick conect air ports kept calling me every time I saw this compressor. The unit really has no real flaws at all the air drain has a great little lever to drain the tank with, but it does blow out hard if you open it to quick and I am not convinced it drains all the condesation real well. With Dewalt and Emglo combine you will not go wrong buying this compressor, and unless you get a defective unit which happens with all products from time to time, you will have a compressor that should last a long time.
dewalt has never let me down - its great!!never short on air supply,even when framing.as for noise,air compressors make noise but this unit is not bad,its a lot nicer on the ears then my 30 gallon unit. the only thing that would make this unit more attractive would be wheels and a self-storing handle like porter cable offers on its single tank compressors,other then that i have no complants.
Great Performance - Dewalt/Emglo designed this compressor around portability.there is very little room in the opening to not only grasp and turn the valve, but if the valve is opened too quickly, be prepared for full discharge of air. Outside of two design improvements, air compressor is a great performer.
JUST WHAT I NEEDED - I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EMGLOW COMPRESSORS AND THIS HAS MET EVERY JOB I BOUGHT IT FOR. IF YOU NEED MORE AIR THEN I WOULD CONSIDER A 2 HP OR MORE SETUP. THAT MAKES THE CONTROLS FAIRLY WELL PROTECTED.
