MAC700 vs EC99S

Makita U.S.A. MAC700 vs Metabo HPT EC99S. Of the 6 figures both makers publish, 3 differ: tank, maximum pressure and weight. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: motor, air delivery and warranty. Both are air compressors with a similar tank size: tank size 2.6 gal. on the MAC700, 4 gallon on the EC99S, in their makers' figures.

Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Motor: MAC700: 2 HP (maximum); 1.7 HP (running). EC99S: Induction, 2.0 running HP.
  • Air delivery: MAC700: Performance (90 PSI) : 3.3 CFM. EC99S: Air Delivery @ 90 PSI 3.1 CFM.
  • Warranty: MAC700: one year from the date of original purchase. EC99S: professional 1-year warranty.

Cited for one of the pair: only Makita U.S.A.'s cited pages give duty cycle. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the MAC700 and EC99S match there.
