The Sandia Sniper 80-3100-HHW is a 12-gallon, 100 PSI corded carpet extractor with dual 3-stage vacuum motors and a 2000-watt in-line heater that raises solution temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit at the wand. Heated cleaning solution lifts oily soils, traffic-lane grease, and biological soils that cold-water extractors leave behind, and Sandia has earned the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval that institutional and commercial spec writers look for. The HHW variant ships complete with a 25-foot solution and recovery hose set and a 12-inch carpet wand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does heated extraction actually do?
Hot water at 200 F lowers the surface tension of the cleaning solution, melts oily and waxy soils, and accelerates the chemistry of the detergent. The result is cleaner carpet on a single pass and faster dry times. Cold-water extractors get general soil out but struggle on traffic lanes and food-service floors.
Do I need separate hot tap water or does the machine heat the cold-fill water?
In-line heat. Fill the solution tank with cold or warm tap water and the 2000-watt heater raises the temperature in the supply line on the way to the wand. There is no warm-up wait the way there is on tank-heat machines.
Is this enough machine for a full-time carpet route?
Yes the Sniper 12 is a daily-use entry portable. The roto-molded body, dual 3-stage motors, and CRI Seal of Approval place it in the same class as the comparable cold-water Sandia and Mytee daily portables. For very high-volume routes, look at the Sandia Optimizer 200 or 300 PSI series.
How long are the hoses and the wand?
The HHW kit ships with a 25-foot solution/recovery hose set and a 12-inch single-jet aluminum carpet wand. The hoses can extend with 25-foot drop adders for multi-story work.
What is the difference between the 80-3100, the 80-3100-H, and the 80-3100-HHW?
The 80-3100 is the base machine, no heater. The 80-3100-H adds the in-line heater. The 80-3100-HHW adds both the heater AND the 25-foot hose kit and wand the most common spec for contractors and route cleaners who need the machine ready to clean out of the crate.
