The Hydro-Force MXE-500AP Restoration Nautilus Extreme is a 500 PSI portable that does double duty as a high-performance carpet and hard-surface cleaner AND a powerful flood extractor, so restoration contractors can leave the separate flood pumper in the shop. This is an open box item: open box units are not used, damaged, or blemished, and all manufacturer warranties apply. If you prefer a factory-sealed unit, see the standard MXE-500AP listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Nautilus Extreme different from a standard portable extractor?
It combines a carpet and hard-surface extractor with a built-in flood extractor. The 18.3 GPM auto pump out and dual 2-stage vacuum motors let it remove standing water, so you do not have to carry a separate flood pumper.
What does the AirFlow+ vacuum system do?
It lets you reconfigure the two vacuum motors between series for maximum water lift and parallel for maximum airflow in under a minute, with no mechanical skill or tools required, so you can tune the machine to the job.
What is included in the hose package?
The APO w/Hose Package configuration includes the solution and vacuum hoses for cleaning plus the 3/4-inch by 50 ft auto pump-out hose for moving extracted water to a drain.
Is an open box machine safe to buy?
Yes. Open box items are not used, damaged, or blemished, and all manufacturer warranties apply. If you would rather have a factory-sealed unit, the standard MXE-500AP listing is available.
Can it clean hard surfaces and tile, not just carpet?
Yes. The 500 PSI solution pump drives Gekko hard-surface tools in addition to carpet wands, making it a flexible choice for mixed-surface facilities.
