The Sandia Sniper 80-3300-H is a 12-gallon, 300 PSI heated dual 3-stage carpet extractor built for the carpet-cleaning contractor whose work demands the highest residential and light-commercial pump pressure on the Sandia portable line, combined with the dual-motor airflow to extract that water back out quickly. The 2,000 W in-line heater raises solution temperature up to 200 deg F at the wand for the deep-cleaning power that cold-water extractors cannot match.
Built for
Owner-operator carpet cleaning routes, residential restorative cleaning, light commercial cleaning (offices, churches, schools), apartment turn-cleans, hospitality housekeeping, water-damage extraction support, and any contractor who needs Sandia's highest portable pump pressure plus heat without stepping up to a truck mount.
Why 300 PSI plus heat
At 300 PSI the Sniper is at the top of the Sandia portable pressure range - enough to drive solution into matted commercial-loop carpet and dense plush residential carpet without overspraying. Add the 2,000 W in-line heater (200 deg F at the wand) and you get the chemistry kick that breaks down body oils, food spills, and traffic-lane soil that a 100 or 200 PSI cold-water extractor leaves behind. The result is a faster jobsite turnaround and noticeably cleaner carpet on the first pass.
Dual 3-stage vacuum motors
Two 3-stage vacuum motors deliver up to 205 inches of water lift - the spec that determines how much of the solution you sprayed actually comes back into the recovery tank, which is what determines how fast the carpet dries. The Sniper's distinctive air-intake design pulls outside air over the motors to prevent overheating during long runs, which is the failure mode that takes down lesser portables on commercial jobs.

Frequently asked questions
What hose and wand should I pair with the Sniper 80-3300-H?
For residential and light-commercial carpet, a 25-foot solution+vacuum hose pair and a 12-inch dual-jet wand is the standard setup. For commercial work where you can't park the machine close, step up to 50 feet of hose. The Sniper ships machine-only - hose and wand are sold separately.
How long does the heater take to come up to temperature?
The 2,000 W in-line heater raises solution temperature progressively as it flows past the element. Initial start-of-day passes will be cooler; after 2-3 minutes of continuous trigger pulls the wand output reaches 180-200 deg F.
Does the Sniper need a dedicated electrical circuit?
Yes. The pump, vacuums, and heater together draw enough current that the Sniper needs two 20-amp circuits on separate breakers (dual cord). Running both motors and the heater on a single 15-amp residential circuit will trip the breaker.
How does the Sandia Sniper compare to a truck-mount?
A truck-mount delivers more heat, higher PSI, and stronger vacuum than any portable, but requires a van or trailer setup. The Sniper 80-3300-H is the high-end portable choice when you need to work where a truck-mount can't park (upper-floor offices, high-rise residential, indoor hospitality).
Can I use it for tile and grout?
The Sniper is built for carpet. For tile and grout, pair with Sandia's hard-surface tool or step up to a dedicated tile extractor with 500-1,200 PSI.
