    Up for Auction by me is a Cam Spray 4040ewma wall mount pressure washer. It's new and unused. I'm thinking I'd like it at my shop as I've always wanted one. Not the happiest as it is single phase but I can overlook that. Does anyone have any experience with this one or any Cam Spray stuff. I know most washers are just a assembly of commodity components but I can't seem to find out much out on this one. Thanks guys for any help.

    never heard that name before- best to bite bullet and get one from a known source- that have parts available stateside. Trouble with all this stuff from chi-com, when it breaks you are left holding the bag. Trick is that various entities bring in a couple of containers worth of something- 6 mo. to year later -poof nowhere to be found. Not that name brands are always the best either- buyer be ware- you get what you pay for. ( sometimes not even that)

    Their site says they're American handmade one at a time.
    They list replacement parts right on their site.
    Contact Info says they're in Iowa.
    :yes:
    Seems like they'd be good...or at least better than the usual big box store disposable stuff.

    Thanks, I just found out some of that just now. Maybe it'll be ok. I'm probably going to get blown out of the water anyway.

    Just a couple hours from me. No, I've never heard of them either. Been to that town once, at a restaurant. The food wasn't good. Visited a military base. That was good.

    It was a damaged freight return from Grainger. Someone "fork tipped" the main electrical enclosure tearing off the mounting ears as it was lagged to the skid. Other than that it's unmolested.
