## Description

desertcart.com Makita's 2.0 HP Air Compressor is equipped with Makita's Big Bore engineered pump cylinder and piston for higher output, less noise and improved job site performance. The MAC700 delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions.2.0 HP with Big Bore Engineered PumpThe MAC700 is powered by a 2.0 HP motor. The Makita Big Bore engineered pump with cast iron cylinder has greater bore and stroke for increased compression, faster recovery and less noise. The cast iron construction is engineered for increased durability even under tough job site conditions. The MAC700 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The Big Bore oil-lubricated pump is also more efficient: the MAC700 runs cooler and at half the RPM of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life and lower noise. The 2.6-gallon tank sustains an operating pressure of 130 PSI, and delivers 40PSI (3.8 CFM) and 90 PSI (3.3 CFM). The low AMP draw reduces instances of tripped breakers and voltage drop that can cause premature motor failure. The roll bar handle provides portability and additional protection, helping it withstand harsh jobsite environments. Additional features include a convenient oil drain and oil sight glass, a tank drain valve that supersedes standard petcock design for easier maintenance, and finned discharge tubing that dissipates heat more efficiently.Versatile Design for a Range of ApplicationsThe MAC700 is engineered for low noise, high output and less maintenance, and delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions.

Review: Great Compressor for DIY/Home use - Needed a compressor that was better than the tire 12v inflator was using for tires. Also, was looking for a compressor that could run a 18g nail gun for putting up trim/ lattice around the deck, could use for blow gun, and would run some air tools in the home garage setting. Read many reviews, compared other compressors, and settled on this due to what I would be using it for (frequency) and price. It came down to this (mac700) or one of those newer quiet air compressors. I chose this because it had the higher 3.3cfm rating and still a fan of the oiled cast iron compressor format. While this is a bit heavier it isn't too bad to carry, mine will be in the garage mainly so really wasn't a problem vs. longevity. Shipping from Acme tools without a issue, arrived in perfect condition from FedEx. When I opened the box, was really surprised by the build quality on this, handle wraps around and makes lifting manageable, everything is mainly metal- except the cover, and the iron oil pump looks like it will last awhile. Setup was pretty straight forward, put the oil in, attach the air filter, then turned it on to do the 20min break in with the air valve open and was really surprised how quiet this is, much quieter than the pancake style ones that I have heard in the past, the 1700rpm motor speed helps. Builds pressure to 130psi fast and the re-cycle from around 95psi-130psi is quick depending on what type of tool you are using. Make sure you buy a pack of connectors/fittings as this is just the compressor only. Using a 50ft 3/8 hose, connected the air inflation tool, fills tires without issue, just be sure to check the regulator pressure so you don't overfill the tire, almost did this as this is way more powerful compared to the 12v junk I was using prior. Blow gun, works great for getting grass off the mowers and dust inside the computer (Yes I did this lol), tested the 18g brad nailer works great, I also bought a kobalt impact and it works for my purposes (set the regulator at 100psi) for getting a few lug nuts off the car and basic tire rotation. Pressure does drop fast when using the impact gun but if you take your time and let it re-cycle it works fine for home use, going to also use the gun to get the mower blade bolts off and other small projects. You will need more air tank gallon/cfm size if your doing bigger auto type jobs, sanding, painting, grinding, ect. so depends on the job vs compressor. So far this has been good purchase and hopefully will last a few years.
Review: I'm impressed ! - I have been researching different air compressors for home use for about two weeks. I looked mostly at the oil free ones and the reviews on several brands and types were pretty mixed. I stumbled on to the MAC 700 and read many of the reviews and the only three major complaints were it's heavy, the manual is lousy, and the chances of it showing up damaged is pretty good. The actual reviews for performance were very good. I didn't find one complaint on how the compressor performed. I have several Makita tools and have always been impressed with the quality. I decided to take a chance on the damage, so I orderd my compressor on Sunday night and received it on Wednesday (Free 2 Day Shipping). When it arrived there was no damage to the box. I opened it up and the packing inside the box left a lot to be desired. I can see now how it cold get damaged. I inspected the unit and there was no physicall damage to it. Everyone was right, the manual is pretty bad. I went on You Tube and found two video's that showed you how to break it in and how a compressor actually works. You do have to be careful filling the oil. You only fill it to the middle of the sight glass. I found that once you started it, the oil level went down and I had to add just a little more. Don't add too much at a time or you will overfill it. Mine took a little over 3/4 of a bottle. The manual says to run it for a minimum of 20 minutes with the drain valve open to break it in. I figured 20 is good, so 60 would be better. I ran it for 60 minutes and then shut the drain valve and it went to maximum pressure in no time at all. I hooked up my new Framing Nailer and tested it. Worked great ! I haven't actually done any work with it yet, but will be soon. Here's my take, so far: Pluses: 1. Pretty quiet for a compressor, I was quite suprised 2. It's extremely well built, it's not cheap (that's why it's heavy) 3. Very little vibration 4. Rebuilds pressure pretty quickly Minuses: 1. Poor Manual 2. It's pretty heavy for no bigger than it is 3. I can't think of any more So far I'm impressed. I will be doing some remodeling with it in the next few weeks and will update this at that time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is its noise decibel number?**
A: I don't know the actual number, but I will say it's the quietest compressor I've ever heard. I use mine in the garage with all the doors closed and can still have a normal conversation or listen to the shop radio. That, honestly, was the main reason I bought it. I had a Craftsman that could shake the dishes off their shelves in the kitchen when running and it would walk across the shop floor to where it could almost unplug itself. The Makita stays put. Most of my shop tools are Makita and I have never been disappointed. My cordless drill/screw gun I bought in 1986 and it still works every day. I think you will be very happy with this compressor.

**Q: Will this work with a LVLP sprayer?**
A: It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle.  It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

**Q: can you use it with a framing nailer**
A: I've used it to frame a 12x24 workshop and it performed perfectly. I generally keep it at around 100 psi, but it can be raised to 150 psi for tools that require the higher pressure. I have had no trouble at all with intermittent (trigger-operated) tools of any sort.

**Q: impact**
A: Question or statement?  I would say it would make a pretty big impact due to its heavy mass if you dropped it.  If your referring to an impact wrench Yes it does work for it for a short amount of time, 8-10 seconds.  I can usually get a wheel off right before it kicks in.  I've removed strut towers and seized axle bolts with this too, you just have to hit it a few times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good compressor, I'd buy it again.
*by E***C on December 23, 2017*

I've had my compressor for about a year and a half. In that time I've installed baseboard, crown molding, trimmed a large kitchen island, installed a hickory hardwood floor, and installed 20 sheets of 3/8 underlayment for vinyl tile flooring. The underlayment was by far the most taxing project as I fired about 10,000 1 1/4 staples for the install. I've changed the oil 3 times, I change it early and often to prevent wear on the pump. I'm a DIYer, not a contractor. I'm writing this information so you know I've used the compressor as opposed to someone who opened the box, turn it on and then wrote about how much they like it. I'm not sure how they would know if they like, since they haven't really used it. I was not paid or given anything for my review. I'm writing this because I rely on others reviews to decide which products I will buy. The compressor is quiet, as advertised. I have run the compressor a lot with my wife in the house, who is noise sensitive. She doesn't complain about the noise, which is a good sign. The compressor charges the tank quickly. It has been able to keep up and get ahead of my stapler, even when installing underlayment with the stapler in bump fire mode. The compressor cycled often, but I never ran out of air. It seems very well built and the pressure is easy to adjust. The rubber feed do a very good job of protecting finished flooring. Oil changes are quick and easy. The ball vale on the drain is quick and easy to operate. It is very effective in getting water out of the tank, which is critical for the longevity of the tank. The handle makes it easy enough to cary and is a good place to store a coiled air hose. I prefer compressors with oil lubricated cast iron pumps due to the increased durability and longevity, but it does make the compressor heavy. At 52 lbs, its on the heavy side. You'll also want to strap it down or support it in your vehicle, otherwise it will fall over.
