This one's a bit of a paradox: The do-it-yourselfer might pass by this compressor in favor of an oil-free, no-maintenance model, but it's actually one of the best on the market for the homeowner, hobbyist and weekend warrior. There are three factors that made us form this opinion. First, it's the quietest compressor we've ever encountered. It's a remarkable departure in a genre of tools that normally force you to suspend conversation while it's cycling. The MAC700 puts out 80 decibels, according to the folks at Makita, and when you compare that to the 90 and up you get from most units, that's practically a hum. So we like this for household use, especially in a basement shop. Next on our list of pluses for the DIY-er is the low-amp draw, and with that, fewer trips to the breaker box and less chance of premature motor failure. The other feature that won us over is the easy-on-the-hand lever handle ball valve that saves your knuckles when you drain the tank. It's also got a really fast cycle, so by the time you take a sip of water, you're ready to work again. It's made like a champ, with a roll-bar handle that protects your investment, a cast-iron cylinder for durability and an oil sight glass that makes maintenance a breeze.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box

Expect high quality with this item. Makita has a name for a reason October 31, 2008
I have owned this tool for about three years now and am quite happy with the sound level, size and performance. As with anything there are trade-offs with it's compact size and air capacity. I do allot of woodworking so this is my stapler and brad nail partner.
It cycles less than you would think, but if you have to clean off shelving or a project where you just spray continously you'll see that the small tank can't keep up too well. But as I said, I can put this in the truck or carry it into a home and most of all it's QUIET. I read all of these specs and when the manufacturer says it operates at a certain decibel level, it better not sound like a jet engine!
Bottom line, I like Makita and I like this compressor.
No shipping problems, But I live in Ohio which is close to the Kentucky warehouse.
p.s.
I don't grade 5 stars on too much stuff. This is a close 5
 Good unit, service issue October 20, 2008
Most likely my my bad, as the air intake filter was probably thrown out with the box. When I called service to order another, it was $23.32, which seemed excessive to me. Then, to make matters worse, I only received the foam to go in the filter, not the filter itself. (I explicitly ordered the correct part number from their service sheet, but the guy acted as if it was my fault). He is now sending the cannister no charge (other than the $23.32 already paid.)
Unit seems fine, but rather heavy as many have reported. Hopefully, it will last.
It is a nice compresssor but... October 6, 2008
I like MAkitta as a brand name. I have tried different Makitta tools and I never had a problem . I have no problem with this air compressor also but I think I was wrong about the tank size. 2.6 is nothing if you want to use this compressor for cleaning or painting jobs. it dores not give you enough air. The air comes out strong and to the point but not enough to last with the same force for more than five minutes then it gets weaker and weaker!
The compressor has almost no noise. Quite, stable, well built. Remember to buy all the accessories to enjoy it cos' the comp comes with nothing!
Also remember to attatch the metal part(filter) to the side of the compressor. Nothing was mentioned in the manual about the filter or how to attach it to the comp. Good luck.
 little giant October 1, 2008
great little compressor, exceded my expectations. Put the Mac700 to the test with a 15guage porter cable finish nail gun. Now a 15g gun wont use the cfm a frameing nailer does but it uses a lot more than a brad nailer will. I shot 10 2" nails in a 2x4 before the compressor kicked on, kept going to something like 20 rapid fire shots and the mac700 kept up. I would think it would hold its own even with framing nailer.
This was more than I expected. It recovers quickly and you can hardly hear it running with ear plugs in. Should have had one years ago, great little rig. Mine came undamaged, and in 2 days.
GREAT BUY! October 1, 2008
This compressor arrived with no damage and has been working great. It's quiet and has a quick recovery time, less than a minute from empty. I wouldn't want to carry this one too far, but it's quite compact and fits on the dolly with the rest of the tools, also it doesn't walk accross the room while it's pumping either. I would buy it again if it was stolen,(like the last one!)
