MakitaMAC210Q Quiet Series, 1 HP, 2 Gallon, Oil-Free, Electric Air Compressor

Finish pro in California. Great tool, super quiet. Clients love it. Heavy and seems built to last. Running 15,16,18 and 23 gauge all day with no issues. I can talk on the cell with the tool running at my feet with no problems.

I've owned 3 air compressors in my life. My last one was an oilless 4 HP, 20-Gal Craftsman (circa 1994), it was so loud, I didn't dare use it with the garage door open because it would definitely disturb the neighborhood. I couldn't start it up in my garage even with the door shut until my family was up and about in the morning. This weekend I decided enough is enough, I did my research a purchased the quietest air compressor in my price range. I will be 65 years old in a few months and it takes a lot to impress me. You know my type, been there, done that, owned that, got the tee shirt for that. I must tell you folks, I am super impressed by this little compact compressor, quiet, light weight and powerful. It's actually quieter than my garage fridge. I brought my Decibel Meter home from work and held it approximately 2 feet away from it while it was running on my tool bench, it measured 57.7db. I ran my 1/4" die grinder for approximately 45 seconds at full speed with no issues. Next, I tried my air chisel, then my 3/8" ratchet. Same result, no issues, I have yet to run in bigger tools lie a 1/2" drive impact wrench. I have owned Makita tools over the years, and I have always found them to be high quality and reliable, I am pleased to see the still maintain their high standards for quality. I am very happy with my purchase thus far and am excited to see what all it is capable of.

I've only used this for one project, to run a brad nailer for a shiplap project, but it worked well. Easy to grab and pack around (though not light), nice rubber feet so it doesn't "walk" around on a hard floor while running, and good regulator so it doesn't fire up after sinking just 3 nails. It's much quieter than regular compressors; I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because I'd like it to be quieter, probably unrealistically so.

Noiseless Air compressor Makita better then Craftman Air compressor A five star seller

Very nice compressor. I needed something with low wattage as it is powered by the Solar system in my barn with a small inverter. The other reviewers wrote that this thing was quiet. They were right. My wife said that it is cute. I never had a cute compressor before. Needs better packaging. Box was treated harshly by UPS, but no damage. I still give it 5 stars.

Quality: Nicely built compressor with easy-to-use controls and easy-to-read gauges. Sound level at 3 feet is 73 dB and 68 dB at 5 feet. A normal conversation typically registers at around 60-70 dB. I have been using this compressor, trouble-free, on a daily basis for a little over 6 months.Functionality: The unit performs as advertised, with a quick fill time and maximum pressure. The term portable is open to debate as this unit weighs 45 pounds and is hard to lug around. Sound levels are quite good, but in a closed garage, I was unable to get far enough away to measure 60 dB. Perhaps in a more open space, the sound levels would be lower. This unit provides adequate air for small applications (i.e., filling tires, blowing out debris, pneumatic staple gun, etc.).If you want a small and quiet compressor, then this is the real thing. But you will pay handsomely for that silence.

Consistent with the brand this is a very high quality compressor. It is super quiet and very portable. I use it in my garage and shop from inflating tires to running my brad and nail guns. Can't go wrong with this one.

I was surprised how fast it got to me, it only took one day. It came in perfect condition.I’m using it to build some wood projects and will need a pneumatic nailer to do the job.I was amazed by just how silent this air compressor was. I live in a condo, and compared to past air compressors I’ve owned, I couldn’t believe my ears, and I’m certain my neighbors can’t hear it either.It powers my nailer perfectly at 90 psi and I can sink 2.5 finish nails wt no trouble.It is a solid well built machine by Makita, and I love makita tools. It’s a bit heavy as I’m a senior, but it gets the job done. Very impressed!
