This is a great compressor, except for 1 thing. It's quiet, uses very little electricity, and makes a lot of air for the short time it runs. My only beef is that Makita does not sell replacment parts, they only sell replacement components. The air regulator started leaking after 1.5 yrs, and needs a new rubber seal, which is not available. They'll gladly sell a replacement regulator for $36 but not the $.50 seal. Sounds like the auto industry, making most of their money on parts and service.
