Dewalt DXCM271 – Air Compressor
$154.00
The DXCM271 is designed around a high-pressure storage strategy (200 PSI) rather than high airflow. This means:
- Longer tool runtime before the compressor restarts
- Faster recovery for small air tools
- Better efficiency for intermittent use
However, its airflow rating (around 5 SCFM) places it in the light-duty category, meaning it is best suited for:
- Nail guns and staplers
- Tire inflation and blow guns
- Small impact tools (intermittent use)
- Light painting or airbrushing (limited duty)
It is not intended for continuous tools like grinders or sandblasting equipment.

Description
DEWALT DXCM271 Air Compressor – 27 Gallon 200 PSI Portable Vertical Electric Compressor
The DEWALT DXCM271 is a portable oil-free electric air compressor designed for DIY users, automotive workshops, and light professional applications that need a balance of high pressure (200 PSI), portability, and low maintenance. It is one of DEWALT’s most popular mid-size vertical compressors for garage and jobsite use.
Built with a 27-gallon vertical steel tank, an oil-free single-stage pump, and a 1.7 HP induction motor, this model focuses on ease of use, low maintenance, and longer runtime per tank fill thanks to its high-pressure storage system.
It delivers approximately 5.1 SCFM at 90 PSI and 6.0–6.8 SCFM at 40 PSI, making it suitable for intermittent air tools and light-duty pneumatic work.
