Amazon.com Review
This Makita 2-horsepower oilless compressor is a serious tool that lends itself to operating in a variety of conditions with little maintenance. Oil-free operation means no daily oil checks, no oil changes, and no worrying about making sure it's placed on a perfectly level surface before going to work. We like this tool's simple yet rugged construction. Dual air tanks hold 8.3 cfm at 40 psi, and they are situated in a way that seems to help the tool maintain steady balance. Along with the tanks, the pump, motor, on/off switch, air regulator, and gauges are encased in a roll cage to withstand the hard knocks job sites can deliver. The well-balanced motor is made of lightweight aluminum that dissipates heat quickly and efficiently. The compressor boasts a quick nine-second recovery time, which is the time the motor must run to fully recharge the air supply in the tanks. In other words, it's plenty fast enough to nail sheathing without letting up. If you're searching for an easily transportable, dependable source of air for pneumatic tools, this could be your saving breath. --Justin Paul

Summary: Best Little Compressor 2006-10-04
Comment: If you need a powerful compressor in a small package, this compressor is it. I bought this compressor about three years ago and it has just kept chugging along. It has always kept up with all the work going on. We have had upto three framers going at oncee and have never run out of air. It is louder than others in its class but that must be because it is more powerful. This compressor is worth every penny.

Summary: What a work horse 2004-06-16
Comment: I have had nothing but good experiences with this compressor. It has far exeeced my expected capabilities. I have used it to run all types of nail guns, impact wrenches and other air tools. It has perfromed flawlwessly. The only drawback I have seen to date is that it uses more amps than others in its class--a trade off I am willing to make. This is probably due to the fact that its CFM rating exeeds all the others as well. I would recommend this air compressor to anyone in the need for a small air compressor that performs as good as may air compressor twice as large. By the way, it is not as loud as some seem to think it is.

Summary: makita mac2200 compressor 2004-03-26
Comment: top notch tool, it's the best of any of the "small" compressors i have used. while it's not the lightest, or the quietest, it is by for the most powerful - i ran two framing guns off it (after i put a splitter on coupler) shooting 3 1/2" nails without any problems . i also ran a 1/2" ingersolrand impact off the mac2200 and was very impressed. the mac2200's recovery time is also very quick ,around 10 seconds. i have owned several small , name brand compressors over the last ten years and this is the first one i have really been impressed with. if you need serious cfm. but don't want a large compressor.....this is your tool

Summary: Good, high powered compressor 2003-06-08
Comment: I own two of these, bought several years apart and like them. They are very powerful, producing the most CFM of any "small" compressor. It produces more CFM by a long shot too, almost 50% more than the next best one. This was the reason I bought them more than anything else. The lack of oil and concomitant ability to put them on an unlevel surface is a real bonus in some situations. I would buy the MAC 2200 again, but its worth noting a few drawbacks. They are loud compressors - the loudest of any electric compressor I've heard on any jobsite. The are also heavy. Finally, they consume serious power. You really can't run multiple devices on a 15 amp circuit with this thing. Given the phenomenal amount of air this compressor moves none of these criticisms should come as a surprise. You don't get something for nothing.

Summary: serious piece of equipment 2002-02-19
Comment: ive owned this compressor for 2 years now, using it for work in the constuction industry and it never let me down. i run multiple framing nailers,finish nailers and pin nailers, whatever the job requires. ive used a drywall texture hopper on it from time to time. it has serious power. no matter what you purchase this compressor for it will be worth the money. its alittle heavy and alittle loud, but thats telling you your not buying a toy.
