This is an excellent unit FOR CERTAIN INTENDED USES. It’s very light, very compact, very well built, and the quietest compressor I’ve ever had. Best of all, it doesn’t require much current at all to start and run full cycle- meaning it can be used at any plug, and doesn’t mind being used at the end of long extension cords. I bought it for portable use around the home and shop, applications where carrying this is easier than dragging hundreds of feet of hose around from a stationary compressor. Applications this will be god for: -small blowgun jobs, cleaning small parts or clearing dust from small areas - bikes, balls, sports equipment -filling automotive, light truck, ATV, lawn equipment tires -air powered finish/trim nailers The tank is just a gallon and the CFM of the tiny compressor isn’t much. As long as you aren’t making unrealistic expectations of this compressor, it will be handy for many, many uses home and shop alike.

I found the compressor to be too small for my needs. I guess I did not do my homework when reading the reviews and description of the pump. It is very well made but will not power a nail gun larger than a small trim nailer.

Great little air compressor. If you're a hobbyist and you work in your garage. Super quiet, which makes it fantastic and just enough air, to work on your projects that need air. Highly recommend, well built.

Quiet , portable but puts out very little air , ok for light Brad gun nailing but anything heavier than that and it will not keep up . Also my friend bought one after me and it stopped filling after about thirteen months . There is NO air filter on the intake which definitely limits its usefulness in the contracting and woodworking industries , also useless for tires bigger than a bicycle

Even after reading other reviews saying how small this unit is, I was still surprised when I actually pulled it out of the box. It's small, and light enough for even an old guy like me to carry around with one hand. I ran it for 20 minutes to break it in, per the instructions, and couldn't even hear it when I walked out of the room. I tested it with two Makita nailers I also just got (an 18 gauge brad nailer and a 16 gauge finish nailer). I used scraps of oak molding, nailing them to a scrap length of 2x4. Half a dozen shots in row (many times faster than I'd use the nailers for real) were no problem at all. This isn't intended for a pro roofing a house, but for an amateur DIYer like me, this little compressor is absolutely perfect.

Very quiet and light weight/compact. Down side is... it’s really small and doesn’t hold much air so you end up waiting on it a lot. Can’t really fault the compressor for that though, it’s basically in the product description. I’ll probably end up getting an auxiliary tank for it, still better than lugging around a bigger compressor.

Nicelly made and performs well for my intended purpose. I wanted a compact air compressor to air tires on my pickup and my travel trailer. I also needed a unit that would fit underneath the tonno cover on my truck which has about 20" of clearance. The unit is very quiet, especially for an oil less compressor. It is light enough to move easily Bear in mind, it doesn't produce a lot of volume, so, running most air tools is out of the question. Nailers probably would be ok.

It stopped working after 7 months

In all honesty,I’ve owned numerous compressors and come from a family of finish carpenters. So I’ve been around compressors since birth. This thing is super quite,while filling up my tires alittle far I didn’t even know if it was turned on since it was quite, and I’m not lying.i followed the guide to run the pistons and hope for it to last. Also not sure if it was just mine or all of them but you have to raise the pressure up considerably.i went to fill my tire and it did nothing, then raised pressure and slowly checked since alittle can move it a bit, And I didn’t want to overload anything. Now this things a champ. I have yet to test with an 18G finish nailer,but in all honesty I doubt there would be an issue after all every compressor works with them. And please don’t be stupid, if you need a lot of air buy a bigger compressor. Any compressor this size is only good for small jobs and if you Only work one gun with pauses in between like me. Still good for a 2 man crew of someone cuts everything and one guy nails then does chaulking. Please be realistic, Makita’s amazing for there bigger compressors so I’m hoping the same goes for this little guy.

As a general contractor I got exactly what I wanted and was looking for , light weight, small , silent, easy to carry around but does a good job . Good price from Makita and awesome fast delivery. Thanks Makita and Amazon !!! Good job

Compressor is nice and quiet, does the job of blowing down test equipment from grain dust. Only draw back is the small tank capacity we need about 2 tanks to do the job required. Worked well for 5 months but now and has gotten louder when it is refilling. Wondering if it is about to quit working as it is used around a dozen times a day. Time will tell.

Small but good

Testing this out today I wanted to blow the sand off my tractor foot pedals. I had to let the tank fill 3 times before the tractor was clear of sand and debris (it's a small foot area) then I decided to test it on my truck tire which was low at 25 PSI...i had to let the tank fill twice to pump this tire up to 35 psi long story short, it will get the job done if you are patient and let the tank refill
