good performer, but Apr 11, 2005
By Quick Smart
I agree with the wheel gripes. The wheels are injection molded with a very thin plastic, one of mine had a slash in it and collapsed on first use.
So, I went up to farm and fleet and bought two new wheels with steel center and solid rubber, heavy tread, put them on and it is perfectly mobile over any terrain, now.
I also agree Makita fudges on the specs.
Most important though is the performance in use, and there, it shines. I've used similar double tank units from other manufacturers and much prefer the design of this unit. It stores connectors and a hose, handle breaks down for storage/transport, It is made very well and is quiet for a unit this size.
It does draw power on the initial kick on, as they all do. I'd hoped to run this on my Yamaha 2500 watt generator, which is equivelant to a 20 amp circuit, but no go. It blows the breaker everytime. And the Yamaha runs a portable DeWalt table saw, jet 1200cfm dust collector and a chop saw just fine (not all at the same time!)
So, while it is not perfect, it is a good performer and I'm very satisfied with the comressor at the cost.

Item is not 1720 RPM as described Feb 02, 2007
By Shop Foreman
Amazon's description describes this as running at 1720 RPM which is equal to Makita's MAC2400 product which runs at half this one's speed (and is quieter as a result).
NOTE THIS ITEM RUNS AT 3420 RPM AND HAS A SLIGHTLY LARGER BORE THAN THE MAC2400 - SO EXPECT IT TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER.

job site aircompressor Jul 20, 2005
By Wim Neij
"Carpenter"
I bought the Makita 5200 after I had read all the reviews, almost even before it was out of the box the wheels had been replaced (steel core, airtires).
As with all my Makita tools, I'm a happy camper, they perform when they need too.
I really like the storage compartment and the hose storage right on the unit.
Thanks to all who wrote reviews, you've helped to make the MAC5200 better, is anyone from Makita taking notice?
I do have a spare set of originals tires (no miles).

 Makita Products & ESP. Service Down the Tubes Jan 22, 2009
By Fit'n Fifty
I purchased this tool in June, 2008. It arrived from Amazon in perfect condition. After the initial 'break-in' period I used it a few times for minor chores around the shop. No problems. The problems began when I took it outside. For a machine this heavy it has lousy plastic wheels which not only bent out of shape, the axle they ride on also bent. I am not abusive with my tools and take reasonable care when handling them. Also, one of the plastic gauge covers cracked. In addition, the plastic shroud that goes over the compressor rattles like crazy and probably makes twice as much noise as this machine needs to make. Simply an observation of mine of poor design. But the real problem was the way in which Makita service treats you when you need help. The parts to replace were simple to swap out, and relatively inexpensive. The service rep I spoke with wanted me to drive this compressor 60 miles each way to have an authorized service center look at them to determine whether they "really failed" or not. In the past if I had a problem with heavy equipment that was easily repaired at my end the parts would be shipped free of charge, assuming the item was under warranty (it is). The rep further argued with me that the wheels simply "wore out" from usage. I explained to him I hadn't used this tool for more than a total of 20 hours and that that was an unreasonable assumption regarding the wheels. His next argument was that "Makita only warrants the motor on these tools and the rest is up to me - at my expense, to have repaired." Unbelievable. The warranty clearly states the entire tool is warranted for one year. Makita's have always made good tools in the past, but I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere if considering this tool, or any other from Makita. Their service center is abysmal. I can understand them not having the sharpest tacks handling the phone calls. But at least know your products and their respective warranties. No more Makita tools in this shop. This was a poor choice on my part.

No bolts? May 20, 2007
By Gale A. Myers
My MAC5200 made a lot of racket when I first started it. I shut it down and checked it over, then tryed again. More racket until I put my hand on the compressor unit. It got quiet. Checking some more, I found that there were no mounting bolts to mount the compressor to the frame. I called Makita and they couldn't believe it. I could hardly believe it myself. They sent the four bolts to me overnight. I couldn't get them in because of the plastic heat shield. Its holes didn't line up properly, but the holes are not critical to holding the heat shield in place, so I burned the holes bigger with a soldiering iron. After that the bolts went in easily. Now my MAC5200 purrs sweetly. I love it. I have not had a problem with the wheels on my machine. It pumps the tank to 150 psi in about two minutes and will hold the pressure overnight with little if any leakage. I run roofing and framing nail guns and other air tools with it. As I said, I love it.
