The MAC5200 is powered by a 3.0 HP motor with built-in thermal overload for additional protection. 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 MAC5200 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The 5.2 gallon tank sustains an operating pressure of 140 PSI and delivers 40PSI (6.9 CFM) and 90 PSI (6.5 CFM), enough for two nailers. The oil-lubricated pump runs cooler, and the finned discharge tubing dissipates heat more efficiently. The roll-cage construction is built for extra protection for the pump and motor assembly, helping it withstand harsh jobsite environments. Ease-of-use and convenience features include tool hangers, a built-in storage compartment for air fittings and accessories, and an air hose wrap to store 50 feet of 3/8-inch air hose with handle folded or upright. Other features include a convenient oil drain and oil sight glass, and a tank drain valve that supersedes standard petcock design for easier maintenance.

The MAC5200 is engineered for low noise, high output and less maintenance, and delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions. The MAC5200 is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

Pretty impressive.
I will note that the wheels now have a steel hub, and should not crack as commented in the previous reviews. I don't use it mobile, so don't know for sure.
I have run the usual small air tools as well as the ultimate compressor workout: a die grinder. Of course, this compressor cannot keep up with an air hog like that. But it works admirably for occasional use of high CFM tools. When I have a need to use a big tool I am careful not run the compressor 100% duty cycle for hours on end. I have occasionally run it for 20 - 30 minutes at a stretch 100% before giving it a break.
It is perfect for my needs. I really like the small size. Big compressor (were talking 120V 20A here) performance in a small size. If you need to run a sandblaster, regular use of a die grinder, sander, etc, you should not even be looking at 120V single-cylinder compressors. Yes even those with a Big Tank ;)
Not sure how its going to perform over the long haul for me,a casual user.I feel confident though, that it will perform as advertised for a long, long time.
