Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT D55168R Heavy Duty 15-Gallon Portable Workshop Compressor
This is a factory reconditioned product. Reconditioned generally means that the product has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the product back to like new condition. Some products may contain cosmetic blemishes. Includes 1.6 HP Wheeled Portable Electric Workshop Compressor - D55168R
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Buy a new one instead
Two weeks ago, I purchased this item from BrandNewEngines. It was supposed to be factory reconditioned to new specs. Somehow, I doubt it. It arrived in a beat-up box, packed with various random pieces of broken styrofoam in a vain attempt to keep it in one place in the box. Judging from the wear on the wheels, this thing had been used for a while--the date on the tank was 2008, which puts this compressor nearing 2 years old. Who knows how many hours are on it.

To make matters worse, after unpacking the unit , I hooked it up, hoping it ran better than it looked. It ran, charging the tank. And it ran, and it ran, and it ran. And them the emergency valve vented the excess pressure. Nice. Not only old and beat up, but busted to boot.

I've tried repeatedly to contact the vendor with no luck. They seem to specialize in ignoring emails and ducking phone calls. Since they are an "external supplier", Amazon won't help with this issue. Something to think about...

Great Product
A few scuffs here and there. A little over spray from the factory recondition. Otherwise, the unit appears to perform perfectly. No pressure loss. A great buy IMHO.
Poor Packaging, Guaranteed Junk Upon Arrival
Received initial order for compressor and packaging was pathetic. The compressor arrived with broken pieces falling out of the box. Portion of the cast aluminum compressor housing that attaches to protetive shroud was snapped off and cannot be prepared. There was paint overspray all over wheels and rust on pressure tank. There appears to be no quality control or pride at the vendor. This is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL and pathetic shipment I have ever received from Amazon. I ordred replacement unit and it arrived shipped UPSIDE DOWN in box with no protection. The replacement unit is completely broken upon arrival and does not even work. Now I have two broken compressors. The initial unit still runs, but I am concerend about its quality. Not sure what to do now... QUALITY IS GARBAGE!!

By the way... I still love AMAZON. It is the best! I know they will take care of me in the long run, but I am not happy about this specific purchase.
