Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The makita mac2400 is very quiet compared to the average airless pancake compressor. This is much quieter than any prior compressor i have owned. It is also quieter than my older air cooled model.

This is very portable, but not exactly light to move around by the hand-hold. I strapped it to a small lightweight wagon and i can easily wheel it wherever i need it. It's compact and has a comfortable handle that makes it fairly easy to manage--like ... Read More

The instructions tell you to run the compressor with no load for 20 minutes to perform the break-in. I'm a "handy-homeowner" and i've owned several compressors, all of which were oil-free pancake or similar style.

It's purrrfect for what i need. Ordered the ir dual tank at first. Double boxed for shipping. Anyways hope this helps someone.

Cons

The negative mark is really not for the product, but more as a warning to other buyers that you might want to buy some where else as you can not return the product. Makita equals zero quality. You’ve been warned.

It's just too close to make a full turn without contacting it. The bumping of transit may have made it rotate the correct way again. Makita could sell the repair kit for $15 to $20 easily.

After a year it is not building pressure above 80 psi. One of the tanks was dented also.

When i removed the oil drain plug with a wrench, the wrench ever-so-slightly rubs against the site glass. The drain valve is not at the bottom. Leak just below the drain.

Highlights

Quality

Quality built product, feels very robust, as you will quickly realize once you pick it up to move it.

Very well made love this beautiful machine

Change oil after 30 minutes after first time use and than every 3 months.

Back in 2009 i bought this air compressor and it lasted me 14 years until it finally failed me this year.

Price

Paid $325 for it last year and it was a steal at that price.

I also purchased the wen 56310ic weatherproof cover ($15.

Shipping

Fastest delivery ever and the compressor was handled with care.

I ordered on a wednesday and received on friday.

I don’t do reviews but i owe this one too makita and the company that shipped.

Packaging/appearance

It was nicely packaged using two boxes, no damage - all looked good.

Well packed, very portable and transaction went well.

Then put in the bottle of special oil they sent you.

Competitiveness

Some people complain about the weight but it is lighter than the emglo and no problem to move for me (65).
