The version I got has better wheels than described but if I was dragging it around a job site I would replace them with steel/pnumentaic wheels. Asa shop compressor where you move it occasionally as needed it works very well indeed. As a stationary for a small shop it is fine. As a job site compressor where it is moved around it is not my first or even third choice. A gas compressor is much more practical and the very high current draw of this unit limits the real extension cord length and effective portability. The version I got starts at 110psi and stops at 140. Drives a framing nailer and a UFO screw nailer just fine. There seems to be a possible issue with shut off but unless it is real and I have warintee problems I am satisfied. The unit folds nicely and fits in the back of a small SUV. At 100+ lbs its a little heavy to horse round routinely. The tool compartment i OK for storing connectors and adapters but not much else. Th version I got is loud but quiter than most compressors with similar CFM delivery. Overall a excellant unit for the money. Yes there are better compressors but not close for the money

I ordered this compressor Friday April 10 2009, via Amazon Prime second day. It arrived Monday April 13, in more or less perfect condition.

I am completely satisfied with this compressor. Recovery is VERY quick. I use it for finish work, and it recovers fast. The only complaint I have, and it is very minor, is it is a little front heavy when you wheel it due to the length of the compressor protruding from the handle. But it's still not that bad, I just needed to find something. Not complaining about the wheels either, but when it comes time to replace it, I'll get rubber wheels for it. I thought about the DeWalt compressor, but heard from others outside of amazon it's not that great, and they like my Makita better and wish they had bought it. By the way, the hose storage, and the storage compartment on it are nice complements, and great for storing nails and accessories. Having an oliled unit should make it last longer. I had a sealed unit before, didn't last all that long. Pass on the DeWalt and buy this one.
