Review: Lots of air, not obnoxiously loud, sturdy wheels and handles - I needed a compressor for my small workshop for air tools, nailers, blowoff, tire inflation and spray painting. I've had oil-less compressors in the past and although I liked their lower prices, I absolutely hated the terrible, high pitched screams they emitted when running. After looking around, I settled on a Makita, but I needed to choose between the Makita MAC700 Big Bore 2.0 HP Air Compressor , Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor and MAC5200. I decided that the MAC700 was too small for my needs. The MAC2400 was interesting, and I saw that a number of people had built carts to move it around and store hoses and miscellaneous parts. Then it struck me that for only $25 more, I could get the MAC5200, which came with more air, wheels and storage for hose and other bits. I've had the MAC5200 for about a month. It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition; none of the scratches and bent parts that some reviewers have noted. I was immediately impressed with the build quality. The collapsible handle is very heavy duty and the wheels are decent. After unpacking, I added the oil and did the 30 minute break-in with the tank valve open. The compressor is not what I would call quiet, but it makes far less noise than the oil-less compressors, and the pitch is lower. I am fortunate that I can put the compressor in a small room off my workshop. With the door closed, the compressor sound is muffled and I don't need hearing protection. If I were working in the same room with the compressor, I would use hearing protection. This is a heavy machine and it would be difficult to move around without the attached wheels and handles. For this reason alone, I am glad I went for the MAC5200 over the MAC2400. The MAC5200 puts out a decent amount of air. It takes 1 minute and 17 seconds to charge the tank to 120 PSI and an attached 3/8" X 50' hose to 90 PSI. Using an air gun with 3 1/2" nails, I can fire 15 - 20 shots before the compressor needs to recharge. So far, I've had enough air to do anything I wanted to do. I got a couple of accessories for the MAC5200. I needed some quick connects and bought the Milton M-Style Air Coupler and Plug Set - 1/4in. NPT, 7-Pcs., Model# S-212 . These quick connects are well made, sturdy and work well. I also got a Campbell Hausfeld MP5143 Pistol Grip Blowgun and think it's great value for money. I'll update the review in the future, when I've had more time on it.
Review: I give it a ten! A F@$?ING TEN!!! - The unit is very nice. Remarkably quiet when compared to other compressors which do not even compete on the same level as this unit. The unit is rather cumbersome and heavy. Loading it in and out of the bed of a truck could take some to task. Once on the ground the wheels provide adequate portability, and the collapsing handle is nice for storage purposes when not in use. As a whole the cage around the unit appears quite beefy and seems like it could take a decent beating and everyday usage. The big bore aspect and 6.8cfm makes this unit replenish the tank to 140 psi quickly. My only complaint is the right wheel on this unit was extremely bent upon delivery, but that is due to rough handling on FedEx part, not seller or desertcart. I will have to remove the wheel and replace or fix the issue myself with a trusty vice and some cold rolled steel. Waited long enough for its arrival and needed the compressor for a job to want to send it back for replacement all because of the bent wheel. I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to run a framing nailer driving 3 1/2” nails. Runs to guns quite nicely in moderate use situations. Haven’t stressed it with two guns used for roofing job where you might be popping guns rapidly, so I can’t speak to how it may handle that. If your looking for something to air up tires with around the house, it’s overkill. Yes I would recommend this unit to anyone who knows why and for what they need it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Due to the small tank, does it constantly cycle running a 1/2 inch impact wrench?**
A: Time to do math, this tank is a 5.2 Gallon, my 1/2” impacts consume from 4cfm on the low side (flex head 400ft/lb wrench) to 6.5cfm (top of the line 900 working/1600ft/lb bolt breakaway). I got compressor for its recovery speed, you can further reduce the noice many many ways, YouTube it, but every gallon only gives you .134 cubic feet, so this 5.2 gallon gives you .695 cubic feet of air. Low end wrench at 4cfm, 4 whole cubic feet a minute means .067 cubic feet every second, figuring how even if you turn the compressor off (so it doesn’t turn back up and start recouping) you’ll get around 10 seconds of air, 10x.067=.67 and you got .695. Now your compressor will kick on long before it gets that low and this isn’t an absolute perfect measure by any means cause your psi won’t be steady 24/7 but gives you an idea. This thing doesn’t have a huge tank but does have a very good recovery time for this price point (won’t find any sub $500 ones over 6cfm) this is meant to still be moveable, despite 75lbs but with the wheels and all it’s doable. If you’re goin for a shop compressor that won’t run often due to a 20-35gallon tank I mean this portable one shouldn’t be in your field of vision

**Q: Is it made in China or Taiwan? Where is the manufacture origin?**
A: on the rear of the machine, down low between the wheels, mine says made in taiwan. good machine so far.

**Q: Can the female air couplings be unscrewed and changed out for high flow couplings, or are they not removeable?**
A: Yes, I did exactly that. They are 1/4" male NPT, meaning the compressor manifold has two 1/4" female NPT connections. I replaced them both with high flow fittings which also accept the normal flow quick connect fittings and this was very easy to accomplish. This is a great compressor and I am very happy with how durable it is built & the ability to add on functionality to it.

**Q: has anybody used this compressor with a plasma cutter that requires 5-7cfm(90psi) ?**
A: I use it with an Eastwood 40 cutter rated 5-7 CFM at 20-60 PSI and it works fine. I haven't cut for lengthy periods(short cuts only,) the compressor runs a lot but it works. Make sure you get an air drier for your air line.This is a great little compressor, but if you're plasma cutting, you're probably doing other things too so I would put the money to a larger 60-80 gallon 10+ cfm compressor which is much better suited for garage tool use. I use this little compressor for everything though (blowing sprinkler lines, small media blasting cabinet etc.) I'm always amazed at what this little thing can do. But it runs constantly and after I burn it out, I will buy a much larger compressor more suitable for tool use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a perfect size psi and cfm for my small work shop
*by D***N on November 17, 2024*

For 28 years I had a cheap little 12 gallon compressor that worked but was loud and I was lucky to get 110 psi out of it. It finally died thank goodness. I was looking for something that I could use with a plasma cutter but didn't want a huge 60 gal shop 220v loud ass compressor. I found this beauty and it's not the perfect compressor for a plasma cutter but it will deliver good working times and is perfect for everything else I need. Smallish and still somewhat portable, this thing is quiet and powerful and very well made. I've had a Makita circular saw that is well used for the last 25 years and it still works like new after I put a new cord on it. Makita stuff is well made.
