Expect high quality with this item. Makita has a name for a reason
I have owned this tool for about three years now and am quite happy with the sound level, size and performance. As with anything there are trade-offs with it's compact size and air capacity. I do allot of woodworking so this is my stapler and brad nail partner.
It cycles less than you would think, but if you have to clean off shelving or a project where you just spray continously you'll see that the small tank can't keep up too well. But as I said, I can put this in the truck or carry it into a home and most of all it's QUIET. I read all of these specs and when the manufacturer says it operates at a certain decibel level, it better not sound like a jet engine!
Bottom line, I like Makita and I like this compressor.

No shipping problems, But I live in Ohio which is close to the Kentucky warehouse.

p.s.
I don't grade 5 stars on too much stuff. This is a close 5

Good unit, service issue
Most likely my my bad, as the air intake filter was probably thrown out with the box. When I called service to order another, it was $23.32, which seemed excessive to me. Then, to make matters worse, I only received the foam to go in the filter, not the filter itself. (I explicitly ordered the correct part number from their service sheet, but the guy acted as if it was my fault). He is now sending the cannister no charge (other than the $23.32 already paid.)

Unit seems fine, but rather heavy as many have reported. Hopefully, it will last.

It is a nice compresssor but...
I like MAkitta as a brand name. I have tried different Makitta tools and I never had a problem . I have no problem with this air compressor also but I think I was wrong about the tank size. 2.6 is nothing if you want to use this compressor for cleaning or painting jobs. it dores not give you enough air. The air comes out strong and to the point but not enough to last with the same force for more than five minutes then it gets weaker and weaker!
The compressor has almost no noise. Quite, stable, well built. Remember to buy all the accessories to enjoy it cos' the comp comes with nothing!
Also remember to attatch the metal part(filter) to the side of the compressor. Nothing was mentioned in the manual about the filter or how to attach it to the comp. Good luck.

little giant
great little compressor, exceded my expectations. Put the Mac700 to the test with a 15guage porter cable finish nail gun. Now a 15g gun wont use the cfm a frameing nailer does but it uses a lot more than a brad nailer will. I shot 10 2" nails in a 2x4 before the compressor kicked on, kept going to something like 20 rapid fire shots and the mac700 kept up. I would think it would hold its own even with framing nailer.

This was more than I expected. It recovers quickly and you can hardly hear it running with ear plugs in. Should have had one years ago, great little rig. Mine came undamaged, and in 2 days.

GREAT BUY!
This compressor arrived with no damage and has been working great. It's quiet and has a quick recovery time, less than a minute from empty. I wouldn't want to carry this one too far, but it's quite compact and fits on the dolly with the rest of the tools, also it doesn't walk accross the room while it's pumping either. I would buy it again if it was stolen,(like the last one!)
