The low 1720 rpm is half that of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life, and the substantially lower noise level makes it the quietest compressor in its class
Large cast iron pump with automotive style cylinder and piston deliver maximum performance
Oil lubricated for cooler running pump and an automotive style air filter for easy, low-cost maintenance

Great kit, nice compressor:
The reviews say it all. The compressor is well designed, however I'm getting some vibration from the handle that is making it a little louder than I imagined it to be. In fact a friend of mine has a craftsman compressor that is quite a bit quieter than this one. It is solid and well made and has a very short cycle time compared to my 30 gallon oiless. Would I recommend it? Not sure, if your looking for a super quiet compressor I would still shop around. As far as a solidly made piece of equipment, I don't... more info
Exceeded my expectations:
I'm very happy with this kit. Shipping was intact, nothing damaged, all parts/accessories included. Setup was straightforward. The compressor isn't crazy loud; it's just another motor running, quite acceptable. It's easy enough to move around my garage, and luggable into the house when the time comes.

I was concerned that its low CFM... more info
Very god combo:
This is a nice compressor-nailer kit. I just got it yesterday and did the break-in and was running the nailer in 30 minutes. There are a couple of things that could be improved. 1) The nails and other small items were loose in the package so most of the nailes were out of the small box and broken in small groups. 2) Makita used two small (temporary) plastic plugs, one for the air inlet (it includes a air filter assemply to be screwed into this) and another for the oil filler hole. There is no... more info
Recommended Unit:
I'm pleased with the Makita MAC700KIT 2 HP Air Compressor Kit I purchased from Amazon.com. I did a fair amount of research and was tempted to purchase a Porter-Cable oil-free kit, but after borrowing a Craftsman (same as Porter-Cable)oil-free compressor from a friend, I decided to go with the oil lubricated Makita primarily because the unit is much quieter but also because I'm convinced the oil-based units have a longer life span. I'm in the finishing stage of installing hardwood floors. I started the... more info
