Makita Mac5200: Sounds Like A Buzzing Bee, Runs Like A Horse

I am sure that you always read several reviews or gather some useful information about certain products whenever you're thinking of buying machinery that you need to last long enough and do you well, hence my spouse and I decided to add up some information on Makita MAC5200 3.0 HP air compressor that might help you make the right decision on what to purchase.

First off, a little background on the company. Makita is a Japanese company, founded in 1915, and has since branched out with factories in China, Europe, and North and South America. They are well known for producing power tools for professionals, making equipment that performs with industrial strength power but is energy efficient and physically compact and making the most of new technologies to ensure their tools are cutting edge.

Makita has been well known for its reputation on building outstanding quality power tools to the drive and determination for excellence that began over 85 years ago as a manufacturer of electric motors. In 1958, Makita introduced their first electric tool and today Makita is one of the world's largest power tool manufacturers.

Now let's talk about Makita MAC5200 3.0HP air compressor, the tool is compact, low profile, with a folding handle for easy storage with sufficient space under the cover to store fittings, gages, etc, four corner hooks to handle 50' of air hose and two front hooks to hang either a second shorter hose or a couple of air tools. Compact and efficient.

Whether you need a compressor for woodworking, painting, caulking or construction, this 5-gallon Makita is a great choice, primarily because of its impressive 6-1/2 cfm at 90 psi on a 13.8 amp draw and easy portability. Power and performance to run two framing nailers. Contractor air compressor features a low profile for easy storage (with handle folded), rugged wheels for jobsite portability, cast iron cylinders, industrial air filter, thermal overload protection and more. CFM at 90 PSI: 6.9, Max. PSI: 140, Volts: 115, Amps: 13.8, HP: 3, Air Tank Size (gal.): 5.2, Tank Description: Horizontal, Pump: Cast iron cylinder, oil-lubricated, Air Outlet Size (in.): 3/8, Portable or Stationary: Portable

One thing that separates this Makita compressor from the others is that you can exceed the duty cycle and the Makita5200 can take it. Cast iron block, oil lubricated, big bore and stroke, large cooling fins and just built in quality in the whole design means a long service life.  

The Makita 5200 is suited for the professional builder, shop owner, farm operator as long as you know the CFM requirements of your air tools within the operating CFM of this compressor it will deliver the performance you want.

Aside of being the most quite and durable, most of Makita compressors are cheaper compare to others that come with same technical specifications. Therefore it is not much of a surprised if Makita Mac5200 air compressor become the best option for any weekend handyman, or even professional contractors.

Other models of Makita air compressors that have been favored by many people beside the MAC5200 are MAC2400 and MAC7000. The MAC2400 and MAC7000 models come with lesser HP and a bit different built and design, also you have to lift and carry them in case you need the compressors at different job site as both don't come with wheels like you could get in Makita MAC5200.
