The Sandia Sniper 12-gallon carpet extractor 80-2200 is the 200 PSI configuration of the Sniper line — built in the United States with a one-piece rotomolded chassis, sealed wiring harnesses, and a Sandia-spec mechanical-seal pump. The 200 PSI duty point is sized for routine maintenance cleaning where most of the soil load sits in the upper carpet pile and a 500 PSI machine is more pump than the job calls for.
Use Cases
The Sniper 80-2200 is the right pick for crews running scheduled commercial maintenance routes rather than restoration. Common use cases include:
- Quarterly office carpet maintenance and walk-off area cleaning
- Hotel corridor and lobby carpet rotations
- Healthcare and educational facility maintenance contracts
- Auto dealership cloth-seat reconditioning
- Apartment turnover where soil load is light to moderate

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 80-2200 differ from the 80-2500?
Pump pressure only. The 80-2200 uses a 200 PSI adjustable pump for routine maintenance work. The 80-2500 uses a 500 PSI pump for ground-in soil and restoration. Tank size, frame, motor count, and electrical configuration are otherwise identical.
Will 200 PSI be enough for my work?
If you mostly run scheduled commercial maintenance — quarterly office carpet, hotel corridor rotations, light apartment turn — 200 PSI keeps the pump within a duty range it can sustain all day. If you frequently hit heavy traffic-lane soiling, glue residue, or restoration jobs, step up to the 80-2500.
Does the 80-2200 ship with hoses and a wand?
No. The 80-2200 is machine-only. Pair it with a Sandia 25 ft. solution and vacuum hose set and a stainless-steel two-jet wand. Discount Cleaning Products can quote a matching accessory bundle.
How long do the vacuum motors typically last?
Sandia 3-stage motors typically run 800 to 1,200 hours under commercial duty before brushes need replacement. Pulling clean filtered air, regularly emptying the recovery tank, and avoiding wet pickup overflow into the motor housing all extend service life.
Is parts support handled in the US?
Yes. Sandia is built in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a North American dealer network that stocks wear items — pump components, motors, switches, gaskets — for same-week or next-week shipment on most parts.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer with US-based customer service and parts support on the Sniper carpet extractor line.
