I see some conflicting info on that review: the responder claims 3450 rpm but on the Dewlalt site they say 767 rpm. that makes more sense to me considering it is a 2 stage:Doright wrote:
BUT a limit of 6 starts per hour? not good.
The Motor is spinning at 3450 rpm, They are spinning that little pump really fast to make those number's don't expect this pump to last very long. Hi rpm is a Band aid to get big cfm numbers from a small pump not a good practice in Air compressor world Pump life is sacraficed.

I think I could live with it being 60 gal but the limit of 6 starts/hr. might be an issue. Having never used a "bigger" compressor, how often do they run to recharge? I know it depends on what is being used but, say the average spray gun? Dumb question likely.
