The best "Hot Dog" around!

After using a Jacuzzi roll-around compressor inherited from my father for 27 years, I decided I needed a more portable unit. I tried a friend's "pancake" unit and it was so noisy, I rejected that option immediately. After reading most, if not all, of the 113 reviews written by others, i decided on the Makita Hot Dog. I was a bit fearful after reading about all the damage reports from others who had ordered from Amazon but, I am pleased to report, that apparently Makita read these reviews too, and the packaging around mine was considerably beefed up with three layers of heavy-duty cardboard and foam bricks strategically placed where they were the most needed. There was not a bit of damage to the compressor even though the box had one small puncture (in a non-critical place). It was delivered by UPS, not FedEx, as stated by others.
I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It is everything others have mentioned - quiet, well built, feature laden, portable. It has the air-hose connection appurtance that accepts both the automotive and tradesman styles of hose-end male connection. Buy it - you won't regret it!

Great value for the money

This compressor is being used in an industrial environment operating vacuum pumping station. Typical use is 9 hours per day. We have found this compressor to be extremely quit and dependable. We operate 6 different compressors and as they become obsolete, they will be replaced by the Makita MAC700. You can spend more for a compressor but you will not find anything better.

A Nice Compressor for small jobs

My MAC700 arrived without any damage compared to other reviews. It seems to have a fairly fast recovery. It is excellent for Brad nailers and 18 guage staplers. It will supply a framing nailer for a few nails, but it does not have the capacity or output for much more. It is certainly not recommended for roofing or framing nailers. I am quite pleased with the low noise level compared to my Porter Cable Job Boss. I like the portability and efficiency for small jobs, baseboard, trim,etc. It is money well spent for its intended capacity. One will not be disappointed in their purchase. Jerry

aweome little compressor!

This little guy is an awesome compressor. I install interior trim and handrails, and didn't need a bigger compressor because I work alone most of the time. For use with 16ga and smaller nail guns, it is perfect, I have had up to three guys using this thing, and it keeps up fine. It is incredibly quite compared to every compressor I have heard, all of the guys I work with wish they had found this before they bought theirs. It does have a deceptive heft to it for its size, but nothing terrible, still lighter than most. Only gripe is that because it is an oiled compressor, oil will seep out if it falls over, which isn't to hard because of its shape if you throw it in the back of a truck without organizing your tools around it to keep it up. A+ over all IMO.

Be ware of the hang tag wire

When I received the compressor, there is a slight damage on the box right at where the oil filler cap is. The "Add-oil" warning tag was laying at the bottom of the box, with hang wires looking like having been cut-off. I suspected that the tag was hang to the oil filler cap and the rest of the wire was still there. I opened the plastic oil filler cap and sure enough, two pieces of metal wires laying at the bottom of the crank case. I fished them out. Had I not noticed the tag, who knows what kind of damage those two thin wires would do to the crank shaft and the piston. Make sure the hang tag wire is out before you fill in the oil!

The compressor has been working fine. I used it outdoors and there has been no rust, no damage.
