Description

Compressors are workhorse tools on the job site and in the work shop. Makita® Air Compressors are favorites for their faster recovery time, lower noise, longer tool life, and consistent performance. The Makita® Quiet Series 1-1/2 HP, 3 Gallon, Oil-Free, Electric Air Compressor (MAC320Q) features a Quiet Series Design, combining strong performance with lower noise. At only 60 dBA, it’s ideal for indoor use during case and base installation, trim and finish carpentry, cabinet or furniture making, and more. The MAC320Q runs at a lower RPM, resulting in longer motor and pump life. It is powered by an efficient 1-1/2 horsepower induction motor that provides up to 90 PSI. It also features a lightweight design (only 52.5 lbs.) for increased portability. The roll-cage construction provides added protection for the pump and motor assembly during transportation, in storage, and on the job site.

  • The Amazon Listing size of 12"x12"x12" is WRONG!
The actual size is ~18"L x 19"W x 14"H. I wanted to replace my 20+ year old failing 6-gallon, 2.6 SCFM @ 90 psi, 80dBA Porter-Cable with a smaller and quieter compressor. Since I already have a 1-gallon 0.7 SCFM @ 90 psi Senco 68dBA compressor that can be easily carried, I wanted a replacement for the ~16"x16" PC that had a smaller footprint with similar 2.6 SCFM @ 90psi performance but at < 70dBA. The Makita with an Amazon advertised 12" x 12" footprint seemed to fit the bill @ 60dBA but costs about twice as much as getting another PC. Over the years, I have learned that it is better to pay more for a good tool so I was willing to pay for a smaller and quieter air compressor. I just assumed a 3-gallon compressor would be much smaller that my 6-gallon PC, but I was wrong. The 3-gallon Makita MAC320Q is bigger, costlier, and heavier the 6-gallon PC that it replaced but it is significantly quieter and better built than the PC. It can deliver just as much air although the compressor motor would be running more often. Since I don't plan on moving the Makita around too much (that's what the Senco is for), I decided to keep the Makita despite the larger size. Another plus is that the Makita doesn't walk across the floor when the motor is running. With my old PC, I had to tether it to the wall. ... show more

  • Wow! 60 decibels is TONS quieter than 80! Perfect DIY Compressor
The Makita Quiet Series is not a gimmick. I didn't realize that the decibel scale is exponential and not linear. So when I first bought an 80 db RIGID 6 gal compressor for $129 I thought it was only 33% louder than the 3 gal Makita at 60 db but $279. I didn't want to pay $150 more for 1/2 the capacity and only a 20 db reduction. WRONG. Since I'm remodeling the compressor has to be inside and often in the same room. I learned that 80db is 100 times more intense and 4 times louder than 60db. It's the difference between a freight train at 15 meters and conversation at a restaurant. The noise level between 80db and 60db is that much. So, yes, the extra cost is totally worth it for me to have a compressor running right next to me that doesn't drive me out of the room until it's done running. It has enough capacity to run my framing nail gun, stapler and finish guns no problem. I just used it to frame a wall and it kept pace no problem. If it matters to you there are a couple limitations: max 135 PSI, 3 gallon capacity and it's heavy at 52 pounds but still luggable. ... show more

  • Quiet Workhorse
This compressor is listed to weigh 44 lbs. It's lighter than some comparable machines that I considered and used, but those others were on wheels. This is heavy enough that some users may wish for wheels and a handle, but it's not bad to carry. There's a shield on the back to ride against your leg (or that's what I believe it's for) and it balances pretty well with the carry handle. The dual hose connections are a nice feature. It allows you to use two tools at once, or hook up two different air nailers, etc. The compressor is rated to come on at 105 psi. That's a nice feature because I have had issues with my framing nailer not seating the last three nails right before other compressors kick back on due to low pressure. This compressor fills up quickly from empty and refills quickly and quietly. If I have one small gripe, I would like it if this was 150 psi or higher (it's a 135 psi machine) so it wouldn't run as often. The side effect is that it would run longer each time. And it's not running constantly or anything like that, but the higher pressure could be a nice improvement. It's quieter than some other comparable "quiet" compressors that I've used by at least a few decibels and it's a solidly built workhorse. For the amount of air it moves (2.6 SCFM) and the level of quiet it maintains while doing it, I think it's a tough package to beat. ... show more

  • AWESOME
Well, I'm officially an old fxxx. Pushing 70 years old and just now looking at retiring. I'm building things up and getting my shop put together. Having an air compressor IS a required part of a well equipped shop. I had been using one of those pancake compressors. It's good for minor things but I end up waiting for it all the time. I thought I would Makita a try. I have to say, this thing is built like a tank. Every detail is top notch. It's way quieter than that pancake thing. I'm very impressed with the speed in which it makes. It does not do what I was hoping for but for what it's designed to do, it's great. IF your looking for a compressor to keep up with lite work, this is the way to go. IF your a contractor and need something to keep up with your nail guns and such, this is the way to go. IF you want to keep up with the air impacts, sanders etc, this is not what your looking for. I'll be looking for a small compressor with something like a 30 gallon tank. That will be better suited to what I'm setting up. No reflection on the Makita. It's awesome. ( for what it was designed to do ) ... show more
