2.5 HP with Big Bore Engineered Pump
The MAC2400 is powered by a 2.5 HP motor. 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 MAC2400 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The Big Bore oil-lubricated pump is also more efficient: the MAC2400 runs cooler and at half the RPM of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life and lower noise. The 4.2 gallon twin-stacked tank sustains an operating pressure of 130 PSI, and delivers 40PSI (4.8 CFM) and 90 PSI (4.2 CFM), enough for two nailers. The low AMP draw reduces instances of tripped breakers and voltage drop that can cause premature motor failure. The roll bar handle provides portability and additional protection, helping it withstand harsh jobsite environments. Additional features include a convenient oil drain and oil sight glass, a tank drain valve that supersedes standard petcock design for easier maintenance, and finned discharge tubing that dissipates heat more efficiently.Versatile Design for a Range of Applications

 Nice, but slightly damaged July 15, 2010
Dave Bishop (Saltsburg, PA, US)
I did a lot of reading reviews before buying it and was amazed at the consistant comments about damage "during shipping". Mine arrived dented on the front between the gages, however it was nothing that caused any malfunction, so I realy don't care much, EXCEPT...I honestly believe the company shipped me a compressor that had prior damage. There was NO damage to the shipping box what so ever, so it had to be placed in the box that way. I think somebody knew they were doing it, and that's proabably how they can sell them cheaper than other companies.
About the compressor: it runs quiet, no leaks, gages and regulator are good, heavily built. Great for inflating tires, using nuematic tools etc., but NOT good for using a blowing tip (even a small one) to clean off mower decks, blow out engine air filters, etc, because there is not enough volume in those small tanks and the pressure drops quickly and I have to wait for it to build up again.

I purchased this compressor over three years ago through Amazon and have been completely satisfied with it.
First, understand that this is not a toy. Solid steel construction, a protective cage and durable components bulk this up into the heavy weight class. That said, the unit is exceptionally quiet and very durable. From the time I purchased it, I have done nothing but add the oil, turn it off and on, and drain the tank.
Several design features make this a pleasing product: 1) The compressor is effectively protected by the tanks and the solid roll cage. I haven't dropped this thing, but I'm confident it would survive. 2) Frequently used features are mounted conveniently on the front panel. The pressure gauges, two universal hose fittings and presure regulator dial are right there in front of you. The on/off lever is located conveniently off to the side where it is protected. The pressure relief valve is located at the bottom of the lower tank and features a convenient lever control. Finally, when you do have to heft this thing around, the integrated, centrally located handle offers a relatively balanced grip.
I've used this with nail guns, staplers, air guns and paint sprayers. The only adjustment I've ever had to make is with the pressure regulator. My larger upright compressor sits abandoned in the corner. For home shop applications I would advise purchasers to build an Air Compressor Caddy such as the one featured in ShopNotes #60. (I've uploaded a photo of my blinged out version to the photo section) It makes life much easier.
Guess what? It was damaged in shipping! June 11, 2010

Before accepting the compressor from UPS I took a close look at the carton. Aside from a few scrapes it looked in good shape. I opened the carton and the compressor looked beautiful! When I took it out and removed the plastic cover I did see that the cooling fins were a little mashed on the side, but that looked like something that probably would happen eventually, so I wasn't concerned. I put in the oil, installed the air filter, plugged it in and reached around to open the drain valve before turning it on for the initial break-in run. It was then that I saw that the lower tank was dented on the left end. It probably wouldn't affect the performance but I'm pretty fussy about such things and it was something I wouldn't accept in an expensive brand new tool. Bummer! Amazon wouldn't let me ship it back, but I was satisfied with the adjustment they made for the damage, so I'm glad I bought it from Amazon.com, though next time I'll buy a compressor locally, even if it costs a bit more, and I'll give it a close inspection before I leave the store.
I took a thorough look at the damage and at the carton, and the cause of the damage was obvious! Except for 2 small arrows pointing "up" on the carton, there are no warnings to the shippers about "Fragile" or "This End Up" or "Do Not Drop" or "Keep Upright," etc. I bet that all of this damage was caused by placing the carton with the left side down and perhaps dropping it from few inches or a foot. The roll cage protects the compressor from the top, front and bottom, and the tanks appear less likely to be damaged from the back, but the 2 sides of the compressor are very vulnerable. If dropped on the right side, the switch or right ends of the tanks can get damaged, if dropped on the left side, the air tube/cooling fins, the crankcase or left ends of the tanks can get damaged. Keep the box upright and I doubt if there would have been any damage.
I don't blame UPS, I blame Makita. Either put some warnings on the carton or put a lot of padding on the sides!

This is an excellent product, it is quite, has a fast recovery time. The air compressor has preformed as advertised. I would recommend to a friend.
 Almost Great! April 8, 2010

This replaced a Dewalt 55155 that was stolen. It gets dragged in and out of my work trailer. Broke air filter putting in trailer first day. Replaced it and broke another 3 months later. It's just not protected and can't take much abuse. I posted my fix in photo on description page.
My assessment:
Pros:
Amazingly quiet
Compact
Runs slower than most
Seems well made
Cons:
Air filter is vulnerable
On/off/pressure switch hangs out other side, but hasn't been a problem
For my use, Dewalt was a really nice configuration, but no longer made. I love this thing's lack of noise. I'd reccomend it and would purchase again. A protective hoop on each end would be nice for folks that use it like me. I would have purchased its bigger brother with the wheels and folding handle, but couldn't accomodate the extra height in trailer.
