Powr-Flite PFX3S 3-Gallon Self-Contained Carpet Extractor

The Powr-Flite PFX3S carpet extractor is a compact 3-gallon self-contained walk-behind machine engineered for fast, one-pass deep cleaning where larger extractors cannot reach. At just 51 pounds with a folding handle, it rolls through doorways, elevators, stairwell landings, offices, hotel rooms and vehicle interiors, then stores in a closet when the job is done. A 1,000-RPM chevron-style agitation brush lifts and scrubs embedded soil while the machine sprays and recovers in a single forward pass.

Because the 3.5-gallon solution tank and 3-gallon recovery tank are built into one body, there is no separate hose-and-wand box to drag around — you fill, clean, and empty the no-slosh lift-off recovery tank at the sink. That makes the Powr-Flite PFX3S carpet extractor easy to train new staff on and a practical fit for restaurants, salons, daycares, auto detailers and any facility that needs professional extraction without a large footprint.

PFX3S vs. PFX900S — choosing your self-contained extractor

Both are self-contained Powr-Flite walk-behinds; the difference is capacity and cleaning path. Choose the compact PFX3S for tight spaces and smaller daily jobs, or step up to the 9-gallon PFX900S Prowler for large continuous-run areas.

Built to last and backed by Twin City Vacuum

The PFX3S is protected by a 2-year parts, 1-year labor and 10-year housing warranty. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Powr-Flite equipment since 1956 — see the full manufacturer PFX3S product page and owner’s manual for complete details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Powr-Flite PFX3S carpet extractor used for?

The Powr-Flite PFX3S carpet extractor is a compact 3-gallon self-contained walk-behind machine for one-pass deep cleaning of carpet in tight, high-traffic spaces — offices, hotel rooms, restaurants, salons, daycares, elevators, stairwell landings and vehicle interiors. Its 1,000-RPM chevron brush agitates and extracts in a single forward pass.

How large an area can the PFX3S clean before refilling?

The PFX3S holds 3.5 gallons of cleaning solution and recovers into a 3-gallon lift-off tank, so it is sized for small-to-medium jobs and daily spot maintenance rather than continuous large-area runs. For big continuous-run areas, step up to the 9-gallon Powr-Flite PFX900S Prowler.

Does the Powr-Flite PFX3S come with an upholstery wand?

No. The PFX3S (part# PFX3S) ships as the self-contained floor extractor with its 14-inch cleaning head and chevron brush; the clip-on upholstery wand kit (part# PFX3S-KNS) for stairs and above-floor detailing is sold separately. Call 763-535-0770 and we will add the correct kit to your order.
