The Sandia Sniper 6-Gallon Carpet Extractor (86-R3100) is a compact, portable hot-water extractor built for professional cleaning contractors, facility managers, and auto detailers who need serious extraction power in a machine that moves easily from job to job. With a 100 PSI solution pump, a single 3-stage vacuum motor delivering up to 205-inch water lift, and 6-gallon solution and recovery tanks, the Sniper pulls more moisture out of carpet so traffic lanes and upholstery dry faster.
Built For
- Commercial carpet and traffic-lane cleaning in offices, retail, schools, and hospitality where a full-size truckmount is impractical.
- Auto detailing and fleet interiors where the 6-gallon footprint and waist-high controls let one operator work all day without bending or stooping.
- Upholstery and spot/stain extraction using the Sniper as a portable spotter, so it does the work of three machines in one.
- Multi-floor buildings where the 10-inch non-marking wheels make stair climbing easy without scuffing floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much carpet can the Sandia Sniper 6-gallon clean before refilling?
The 6-gallon solution tank handles small to mid-size commercial jobs and most residential rooms between fill-and-dump cycles, and the matching 6-gallon recovery tank means you empty and refill at the same time to reduce downtime.
Does the 100 PSI pump dry carpet fast enough for quick turnaround?
Drying speed comes mostly from vacuum lift, not pump pressure. The single 3-stage motor produces up to 205-inch water lift, which pulls more moisture out of the carpet so it dries faster than lower-lift portables.
Is this machine good for auto detailing and upholstery?
Yes. Many detailers and contractors use the 6-gallon Sniper as a carpet extractor, an auto detailer, and a portable spotter, which is why it is often described as doing the work of three machines.
Does the 86-R3100 come with a wand and hose?
No. The 86-R3100 is the machine-only configuration. A 12-inch wand and 15 ft solution/vacuum hose are sold separately so you can match tools to your work.
What warranty does Sandia offer?
Sandia covers vacuum motors for 2 years, the 100 PSI pump for 2 years, and components, parts, tools, and accessories for 90 days.
