The Sandia 3-Gallon Spot Extractor is a portable carpet, rug, and upholstery spotter that steps up from the 2-gallon with larger 3-gallon solution and recovery tanks for longer cleaning runs between fills and dumps. It stays easy to move at 19 pounds thanks to a smooth-glide slide-out molded carrying handle and double ball-bearing urethane wheels, and its roto-molded polyethylene body resists dents, chips, and cracks in demanding commercial use.

A durable 55 PSI solution pump (100 PSI available) drives cleaning solution into the fibers, while a 2-stage Ametek 804-watt vacuum motor pulls 100 CFM at 76 inches of water lift to recover spent solution fast for quicker drying. Both tanks lift out separately for easy filling and no-mess disposal. It runs on 115-volt power (230-volt available) through a single 20-ft, 16/3-gauge safety cord.

Choose the configuration that fits how you work: 50-1000 ships with a 4″ clear-view plastic upholstery tool so you can see soil lift as you clean; 50-1001 ships with a more durable 4″ stainless-steel upholstery tool; and 50-1002 is the machine only for crews that already own hoses and tools. The 50-1000 and 50-1001 both include 1.25″ x 7-ft solution and vacuum hoses. A 9″ stainless-steel carpet wand is available as an option.

Where the 3-Gallon Spot Extractor Fits

The 3-gallon is the workhorse spotter for carpet-cleaning contractors running spotting routes, auto detailers deep-cleaning interiors, hotels, offices, and restaurants handling upholstery and spill response, and restoration crews on small to mid-size jobs. Its extra tank capacity means fewer trips to the sink than a 2-gallon while it still fits in a car trunk and carries up stairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three Sandia 3-Gallon Spot Extractor configurations?

You can order the 3-gallon spotter three ways: model 50-1000 with a 4-inch clear-view plastic upholstery tool, model 50-1001 with a 4-inch stainless-steel upholstery tool, or model 50-1002 as the machine only (no hoses or tool) if you already have accessories. The 50-1000 and 50-1001 both include 1.25-inch by 7-foot solution and vacuum hoses.

What is the difference between the clear-view and stainless-steel upholstery tools?

The clear-view plastic tool (50-1000) lets you watch soil lift out of the fabric as you clean, which helps you know when a spot is done. The stainless-steel tool (50-1001) is more durable for heavy daily use. Both clean carpet spots, rugs, and upholstery equally well.

How big a job can the Sandia 3-Gallon Spot Extractor handle?

With 3-gallon solution and recovery tanks it runs longer between fills and dumps than the 2-gallon, while staying portable at 19 pounds. A 55 PSI pump and 2-stage Ametek 804-watt / 100 CFM motor at 76 inches of lift make it well suited to spotting routes, auto detailing, upholstery, and small restoration jobs.

Does the Sandia 3-Gallon Spot Extractor come heated?

This model is non-heated. For heated solution up to 200°F, choose the Sandia 3-Gallon Spot Extractor with Heat (model 50-4000), which adds a 600-watt in-line heater in its own roto-molded tank and frame.

What warranty comes with the 3-gallon spotter and where can I buy one near Minneapolis?

It carries a lifetime warranty on the body, 2 years on the motor and pump, 1 year on electrical components, and 90 days on tools and accessories. Twin City Vacuum at 5415 West Broadway, Crystal, MN 55428 is an authorized Sandia dealer and services what it sells — call 763-535-0770.
