Sniper Hard Surface Extractor
Choosing a Sandia Carpet Extractor
Match the machine to the work. The Sniper line comes in 6- and 12-gallon tanks and pump pressures from 100 to 500 PSI — higher PSI drives solution deeper for heavier soil and commercial carpet. The Optimizer 12-gallon portables deliver truck-mount-style airflow with dual 6.6″ 2-stage motors and 215″ of lift for maximum recovery. Heated versions raise solution temperature to cut grease and traffic lane soil faster, and the 1200 PSI Hard Surface extractor with auto-fill and auto-dump is built for tile, grout, and hard floors. Larger tanks mean fewer trips to fill and dump on big jobs.
Facility Fit
Sandia extractors suit carpet-cleaning contractors, water-damage and restoration crews, hotels and property management, schools, and any operation that cleans commercial carpet. Choose a 6-gallon Sniper for portability on stairs and tight jobs, a 12-gallon Sniper or Optimizer for open-floor production, a heated model for grease-heavy accounts, and the 1200 PSI Hard Surface unit for tile and grout. Every extractor carries a lifetime warranty on the body with 2 years on the motor(s) and pump.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Sniper and Optimizer extractors?
Both are portable carpet extractors with roto-molded tanks. Sniper models span 6- and 12-gallon tanks and 100 to 500 PSI for a wide range of jobs, while the Optimizer 12-gallon portables focus on maximum recovery with dual 6.6-inch 2-stage vacuum motors and 215 inches of water lift — truck-mount-style airflow in a portable.
What does the pump PSI (100, 200, 300, 500) mean for cleaning?
Higher pump pressure pushes cleaning solution deeper into carpet fibers and backing, which helps on dense commercial carpet and heavy soil. Lower PSI is fine for routine residential and light commercial carpet. If you clean a mix, a mid-range 200 to 300 PSI machine is a common choice — call 763-535-0770 for a recommendation.
Should I buy a heated Sandia extractor?
Heated extractors warm the solution to speed up breakdown of grease, oils, and traffic-lane soil, so they earn their keep on restaurants, gyms, and heavy commercial accounts. If your work is mostly light residential carpet, a non-heated model may be all you need. Most Sniper and Optimizer models are offered in both heated and non-heated versions.
What is the 1200 PSI Hard Surface extractor for?
The Sniper 1200 PSI Hard Surface extractor (adjustable down to 400 PSI) is built for tile, grout, and hard floors rather than carpet. It uses one 2-stage and one 3-stage vacuum motor, auto-fill and auto-dump with 50-foot hoses, and a 12-gallon capacity. The hard-surface wand is sold separately.
