It starts at 90 and stops at 150. It's a great compressor that I use all the time.
The motor is lubricated. If you run out of oil, you can get some at Home Depot or Lowes.
It's wired for 120V and draws 15 amps when it comes out of the box. I've got a long extension cord connected to it, and it hasn't tripped the breaker in my parents' barn yet. If 240V is preferred, the motor, according to my understanding, can be converted.
Yes, that is correct.

I thought the shipping carrier was terrible because my gauge was all busted and the hand grip had no response, but the compressor itself works great and I've used it quite a bit. Being able to wire it to 220 is fantastic because it's much nicer and quieter than my old one.
Excellent compressor, which I would recommend to everyone!.
I'm unable to locate information on how to replace it. With only a few uses, the on/off switch broke. can figure out a way to get it replaced.
There have been no setbacks thus far.
The World's Cheapest Wheel Support Bracketsbr>Man, we saw these on sale today and decided to go get two after work. I was ecstatic about what I saw in the ad; a coworker and I had been looking for a good one of this size for a long time. We'd been talking about getting one for months because it was so reasonably priced. As we approached, our hearts literally began to sink as we gazed downward. I'm just disappointed that the cheapies use the same axle and support design. br> I'm not sure why all of these corps will build such a nice unit, but then equip it with the smallest, cheapest wheel supports they can find on the planet. We've all seen the broken wheel supports on compressors in all our local stores, and this one is no different folks, in fact, it's thinner than most and tack simply welded. With their weight, you can forget about rolling these across any rough terrains in a work environment, and you should always set it down gently when unloading it from a truck bed. br> I'll admit, we only saw one of these Dewalts with brackets broken there, but these brackets are certainly built worse than the older Campbell Hausfeld/Husky units that were broken all over the stores. Give it time, these will be broken everywhere, and I'm sure they had more in the back piled up in a corner already. br>br> Recently, I've noticed a few CH tank wheel supports that have been re-installed. I understand why it's "supposed" to be an extra sturdy portable unit one can take from job site to job site, but if you weld anything on an air tank, it's no longer certified and it's also considered unsafe because the heat weakens it greatly, quite possibly even enough to be dangerous enough to kill when pressurized, which is why they get certified to begin with. I honestly don't get it Dewalt, if it's "supposed" to be an extra br> These supports are ridiculously small! These cheap, tiny wheel support brackets always break in no time, and everyone knows it, including Dewalt, so it appears Dewalt is now on the planned obsolescence freight train, because that is the only reason I can think of for such a low-quality design. There are plenty of low-cost Dewalt products available now, so it's a no-brainer. Sorry, but I'll keep using my 20 gallon Eagle compressor until these are built to the same high standard as Dewalt tools were once known for. Even after 8 years of heavy use and being moved all over the world, it still works great for me. All I need now is a true industrial grade 30 gallon upgrade, which you almost gave us here. It's such a bummer that you didn't make it. br> If you only need a unit to sit in one location at home, it might be fine if you can get it there first.
When the package arrives. The compressor had emptied itself of all oil. Not happy.
