The Makita it's self is great. My complaint is with the broken upload valve on arrival. The unit was packaged well and no damage to the box in shipment. This means the valve was broke when placed into the box. They did send a replacement but still with the unit being dead on arrival leaves a poor impression. Once running it does the job.

Worked out of the box, no adjusting, no tightening loose air fittings. Handle makes it easy to carry and has a great profile for storage. Would recommend to anyone looking for an air compressor of this size.

I read the reviews and was convince that the MAC700 was the compressor for me, I also read the common complaints about the frequent shipping damage, I live in Hawaii, 6000 mile trip from the sales source. I figured it would get a little banged around but bought it anyway. It came today and the box was in perfect condition, Atta boy to FedEx! But when I opened it up I could see that the motor cover was busted in several places, the motor fan was bent and a cut was in the metal leg. There is no way this unit got damaged in shipping, this unit must have been dropped at the factory and put into the box damaged? I contacted Amazon and the service rep told me to send it back for a replacement, or I could buy the replacement parts from the Makita Service center and Amazon would credit me for the cost. I will buy the parts and change them out myself, I guess I will eat the labor, but on the bright side, I can see that this unit was made to be rebuilt, motor, controls, valves, etc. good feature when you live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean I will do a follow up later and let the readers of this review know of my success or failure with Makita and Amazon, until then buyers beware.
