Read the manual and follow the break-in and maintenance procedures and off you go. This unit is not supposed to be a "contractor's" compressor. If you need a compressor for big job sites, buy an appropriate unit. Compact and well made! - I purchased this unit to replace an oil-less pancake compressor that burned out. The Makita MAC700 is super! It has all the attributes of a large high quality oil-lube compressor. By comparison, the pancake compressor this unit replaced was DREADFULLY loud. In my opinion, the longevity and quietness that an oil-lube compressor offers, far outweighs the time and slight inconvenience of routine maintenance. I love it! If you are looking for a light duty air compressor, I highly recommend the MAC700 Hot Dog Air Compressor.

*2 HP Oil-Lubricated Stack Tank Air* Compressor \| Bostitch CAP2045ST-OL**

I would say it's not exactly the lightest portable compressor out there, and most of the time I wish it had wheels. I have another larger more stationary compressor that is a different brand that gets used more out in the main shop. There are a few minor flaws that could be fixed relatively easily with this compressor. One starting with the OPERATION and MAINTENANCE MANUAL. The air filter sticks out of the cage a little too far, looks like it's prone to bumps. And last but not least, the control panel, nice easy access and readability, and I like the dual air outlets, but they stick out of the roll cage after you install a pair of female couplers.
*2 HP Electric Air-Mate Compressor* \| Emglo AM780-HC4V**
	$500.00 by Emglo One-year warranty Rugged cast-iron cylinder Performs at above average working pressures Delivers 3.6 cfm at 125 psi Powerful 2 hp electric motor found in AM780-HC4V's reviews: Great But ... - I have several compressors, but since this is light and runs on 15 am circuits it is the preference for small volume needs such as small nail guns, tires and especially jobs where transporting the compressor is required. Example, a framer and helper will easily outrun the production capability of the compressor with one gun. On a hot day with poor air circulation the motor start capacitor blew. Since this was the only issue with the tool I decided it made sense to repair. My standard motor repair shop wouldn't touch it. The Emglo repair center wanted an exhorbitant amount for the capacitor ($$). The time I spent calling around and shopping for the replacement part far exceeded the value of simply replacing the compressor unit. The advantages of convenience, weight and maintenance free performance come at a price.
