See more Review: Quiet Powerhouse – Reliable and Built to Last - I’ve been using the Makita MAC2400 for a few years in my home garage, mainly for automotive work. I regularly ran an Ingersoll Rand impact gun, air grinder, air hammer, and air nozzle off it, and this compressor never let me down. The quiet operation (79 dB) is a huge plus – I could comfortably work in the same small space without feeling drowned out. The Big Bore design really does make a difference: faster recovery time, solid airflow (4.2 CFM @ 90 PSI), and consistent performance. Maintenance is simple – I changed the oil regularly, and the cast-iron build feels like it’s designed for decades of use. It’s heavy, but the roll cage design makes it durable and portable enough for job site or garage work. Overall, this is a professional-grade air compressor that delivers industrial-level performance, value and the reliability Makita is known for. If you need a unit that runs cool, lasts long, and doesn’t blast your ears, this is the one. ✅ Pros: Quiet, powerful, durable, excellent recovery time ⚠️ Cons: Heavy, not the easiest to move around frequently Review: It a great product to own - Today I received the compressor that I ordered. desertcart delivered this morning. Their truck was BIG. Not your typical desertcart truck. Both men were awesome. The box had no damage. I removed the two straps that held this in place. Removed those copper staples and took a look inside. Inside, there was another box with black straps. Lifted that box out, removed those staples, and 3 black straps. Makita factory really, really protects this to the max. Good job, Makita! Took the compressor out and enclosed the manual, oil, and filter. Each item was in its own plastic bag. I put the compressor on a dolly for now. I read the info about adding oil and an air filter. Here is my tip: put the oil in first and use the included oil plug that came in the bag. Next was the air filter, which was easy to install. Another tip: get a crescent wrench to remove the air filter; now you have a stem to tighten. Once tightened, reinstall the air filter and tighten the wing nut. Did a circle jerk around the compressor and saw no damage at all. Not even a scratch, Next, I fired her up and opened the drain valve and let her run for 20 mins. The compressor ran quietly. The only thing that smelled was the paint the whole time, and most likely the pump and motor that were painted. UPDATE 2/2/2026 Before I turned on the compressor, I spotted a small oil leak coming from underneath the crankshaft. I took my hand, placed it beneath, and felt oil on my fingers. I then looked at the Allen key screws on the crankshaft cover and saw that the bottom was not flush with the crankcase housing. I proceeded to tighten (noticing that the screw was easy to tighten as I was doing it). I fired up the compressor, then shut it off. About half an hour later, oil on the bottom of the housing. I thought this was not good. I called Makita customer service, and after a lengthy discussion, it was best to return to desertcart, request a credit, and reorder. So I did the return and reorder. I trust Makita will do right by me. I will update again this weekend, as I will be receiving the new compressor this Friday, and desertcart is picking up the defective one also. Final Update: I received a new one and returned the defective air compressor. The new compressor was packed the same way as the old one. Took the new compressor out of the shipping box and didn't notice any oil at the bottom of the box. The defective one did have an oil stain on the bottom of the box. I checked for any assembly or shipping damage, but didn't find any. Assembled new compressor (oil, air filter), then fired up the compressor and did not have any oil leak at all. Then I shut off the air compressor, but I did not release the air from the air tanks. The gauge showed 140psi cut out. I let her sit for 5 hours and saw the gauge drop to 132 psi. For me, that was an acceptable loss of pressure. This is a great compressor for a homeowner. Thank you, desertcart, and Makita! ## Features - Cast iron pump with Big Bore cylinder and piston is engineered to provide faster recovery time for improved performance - Powerful 2.5 HP 4-Pole motor produces 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI for increased productivity and lower noise - Roll-cage construction provides complete protection to withstand extreme jobsite environments - Low AMP draw reduces incidences of tripped breakers at start-up - Pump is oil-lubricated for cooler running temperatures and reduced wear - Oil lubricated: Cooler running pump, minimizes wear - Durable cast iron cylinder reduces wear and increases pump life; Removable for easy maintenance - Powerful 2.5 HP 4 Pole motor produces 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI for increased productivity - Large automotive style industrial air filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency - Pump runs at lower RPM (1,730) resulting in lower noise (79dB) and improved pump durability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001Q2VPK | | Additional Features | Portable | | Air Flow Capacity | 4.2 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Best Sellers Rank | #125,032 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #97 in Portable Air Compressors | | Brand Name | Makita | | Capacity | 4.2 Gallons | | Color | Factory | | Compatible Hose Diameter | 0.5 Inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,323) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381053532 | | Included Components | 2 1/4" Universal Quick Coupler, Male (447013-E), Air Compressor Oil (181122-A) | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 20.25"L x 19.5"W x 19.75"H | | Item Type Name | Makita MAC2400 2.5 HP Big Bore™ Air Compressor | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | MAC2400 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year Parts & Labor | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Maximum Current | 12.3 Amps | | Maximum Horsepower | 2.5 Horsepower | | Maximum Power | 2.5 Horsepower | | Model Name | Makita MAC2400 2.5 HP* Big Bore™ Air Compressor | | Model Number | MAC2400 | | Motor Horsepower | 2.5 Horsepower | | Noise | 79 Decibels | | Power Source | electric-powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Cutting, Grinding, Spraying | | Style | MAC2400 | | Tank Volume | 4.2 Gallons | | UPC | 088381053532 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Noise Level:** 79 Decibels - **Power Source:** electric-powered - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Cutting, Grinding, Spraying - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![MAC2400 2.5 HP* Big Bore™ Air Compressor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vAso22EbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I love Makita tools. But "Low AMP draw" is a suspiciously weaselly way to state power consumption. WHAT IS the EXACT MAX AMP draw?** A: 13 amps. So a residential 3 prong (15A) outlet should run it, if plugged in directly and no other loads on the circuit. Thank you Professor McGraw for taking this opportunity to teach us all a lesson in electrical theory. Your answer is noted. And your answer is discarded as not an answer but another "weaselly" way to avoid actually answering. Actual "thank you"s to Maple Jack and I Give...Savage for practical answers. Every air compressor brand seems to think that telling us users the horsepower rating is super important. As if we users are out here on jobsites pulling out air compressors and comparing HP numbers like jock sizes. Most of us are more concerned with: "Can I run this compressor on a 15 amp 3 prong outlet with a 50 ft 12/3 extension cord?" It looks like the literature includes a reference to 12.5? amps. Why this information is buried in the user manual and not boldly decal-ed on the unit is beyond my personal comprehension. The 2.5 HP rating is only the start-up under pressure, and has absolutely no bearing on anything, unless you want to compare jock sizes with the other guy running a DeWalt. Maple Jack points out that extended run times have caused his unit to trigger a 15 amp breaker. I assume he was probably using a 12/3 extension cord, probably less than 50 ft. Savage has similar advice. And they both point out that extension cords, even very good ones have a cost to the energy supplied. (Inversely proportional to the AWG of the wire and directly proportional to the square of the run of the wire, I think). If the compressor has an "unloader valve" then the pressure at the cylinder should be close to zero PSI at re-start, reducing the surge current required. If the compressor has a start capacitor, then the surge current is largely supplied by the capacitor. (no literature on either component) If it makes a difference, the 12.5? AMP rating is based on a 110v/60Hz supplied power; I use a generator with adjustable voltage or a 220v/30A transformer for most of my jobsite power. You'd be surprised how much happier all my tools are getting 118-122v/62-65Hz All that theory aside: this compressor will probably prefer to be plugged directly into a 15 amp receptacle. Extra air hose is better than extension cords for most occasions. **Q: Is there an exploded view of componets? Compressor will go to 40 lbs and no further. Where do you start looking to replace parts to resolve? Thanks** A: You can easily download the parts breakdown for this compressor from the Makita website. Here is the link below. Once there, download the Parts Breakdown pdf file. http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=MAC2400 **Q: what brand and weight air compressor oil should I use?** A: I bought one of these from Amazon 3 years ago and I like it. It comes with enough high quality synthetic oil for one filling. The owners manual (which is downloadable before you purchase) tells you about the type of oil and the change intervals. Generally speaking, after you have used it for a hundred hours or so, change the oil with a top quality synthetic air compressor oil, of the weight specified in the manual for your climate and work conditions. More important that that, drain the water out of the tank every day after you use it. You should consider getting oil and water traps if you plan to do any painting with it. Pay attention to hose size and fitting size if you plan to use hoses over 25 feet long (3/8” hoses have 225% more flow capacity than 1/4” hoses). **Q: Can I use for 110 psi RV tires?** A: Just a guess, but don't see why not. It has a max of 130 PSI. Just dial up to 110psi on the right side gauge and while it may take a bit longer it should work just fine. I would get a second opinion however since I've only used for tires that are 90psi max so far. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet Powerhouse – Reliable and Built to Last *by �***� on September 19, 2025* I’ve been using the Makita MAC2400 for a few years in my home garage, mainly for automotive work.

Great Quality. *by G***N on October 28, 2017* This is definitely one of my most favorite items I've purchased from Amazon. Excellent air compressor. Well constructed, good workmanship, quality parts, smooth running, and it even looks great, with a quality paint job. Plus it's much quieter than the "Task Force" 5 gallon compressor that I replaced. And the performance of this Makita puts that 5 gallon "Task Force" compressor to shame. It easily runs every air tool I've hooked up to it...nail gun, staple gun, paint sprayer, etc. Also, in the questions section for this compressor, there have been some nebulous answers as to whether this compressor will run an impact wrench without difficulty. I can assure you that this compressor can run a 1/2 inch impact wrench with no difficulty. This compressor is fairly heavy. As you can see from the pictures I've included, I mounted it to a cart that I purchased from Lowes, so now I never have to lift it again. The cart came with 4 inch polyurethane wheels, but the wheels had no brakes. So I replaced them with a set of 5 inch polyurethane wheels with brakes. (I put the 4 inch wheels on my Rubbermaid mop bucket...much better than the wheels it came with). The compressor would have probably stayed firmly planted on the cart due to the compressor's weight, but I preferred to bolt it to the cart. The compressor has four rubber feet bolted to the frame, so bolting the compressor to a cart is simply a matter of drilling four holes in the proper place on the cart, remove the bolts from the rubber feet on the bottom of the compressor, then set the compressor on the cart, then run bolts through the holes in the cart, through the rubber feet, and then tighten the bolts into the frame of the compressor. The rubber feet that come with the compressor would probably be very good at cushioning any vibration from the compressor to the cart, but as long as I had them off I decided to replace them with a set of very high quality sorbothane anti-vibration pads ($30 for a set of four 2" x 2" pads). I drilled a hole in the middle of each pad then bolted the compressor and pads onto my cart. I put the rubber feet that came with the compressor on the bottom of the large case of my home-made computer. Perfect fit and better than the feet that came on the computer case. As you can see, I also bolted a retractable air hose reel onto my cart with 50 feet of good quality rubber air hose. I also put an air/water separator onto the air hose that does a very nice job of removing water from the line before the air enters whatever air tool I have attached. A push-valve on the separator allows you to drain any drops of water that it might collect with just the push of a finger. One more thing. The compressor comes with one small bottle of compressor oil. The compressor will take the entire contents of that bottle to get the oil level to the full mark on the oil sight glass. I filled the compressor with the included oil and then ran the compressor for the required break-in period specified in the owner's manual. After that break-in period, I immediately changed the oil. I used high quality Royal Purple synthetic compressor oil when I changed the oil, and the compressor runs even quieter with the Royal Purple synthetic then it did with the oil that was included with the compressor. I hope this review is helpful for anyone looking for a very decent air compressor, as well as giving some helpful suggestions for mounting the compressor to a cart. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita MAC2400 2.5 HP* Big Bore™ Air Compressor - Flexzilla Air Hose, 3/8 in. x 50 ft., 1/4 in.
