The Hydro-Force MX3-500H Nautilus is a 12-gallon portable carpet extractor with a 500 PSI pump, dual 3-stage vacuum motors, and a built-in 1750-watt heater for hot-water cleaning that lifts soil faster. The AirFlow+ vacuum system lets you tune the machine for maximum lift or maximum airflow, so carpet-cleaning pros get better extraction and shorter dry times. This is an open box item: not used, damaged, or blemished, with full manufacturer warranty. Prefer factory-sealed? See the standard MX3-500H listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 1750-watt heater add to cleaning performance?
Heated solution helps break down oily and ground-in soils faster than cold water, which can improve cleaning results and speed up the job on heavily trafficked carpet.
How does the AirFlow+ vacuum system help dry times?
You can switch the two 3-stage motors between series for maximum water lift and parallel for maximum airflow in under a minute, letting you favor moisture recovery and faster drying when it matters.
How big are the tanks and what jobs suit them?
The MX3-500H has 12-gallon solution and waste tanks, which suit larger commercial and high-production residential jobs by reducing how often you stop to fill and dump.
Is the open box MX3-500H covered by warranty?
Yes. Open box items are not used, damaged, or blemished, and all manufacturer warranties apply. The standard MX3-500H listing is available if you prefer a factory-sealed unit.
Does it clean hard surfaces too?
Yes. With the appropriate tools the 500 PSI pump cleans tile and other hard surfaces in addition to carpet, making it versatile for mixed-surface facilities.
