The Sandia Sniper 86-2300 is a 6-gallon carpet extractor with an adjustable 300 PSI pump and dual 2-stage vacuum motors, built for contractors who want strong, tunable cleaning power in a portable, van-friendly machine. Waist-high controls keep operation comfortable, and the high-pressure pump dials in from 100 to 300 PSI so you can match the soil and the surface.

Getting the best results
Tune the machine to the job for the best clean and fastest drying:
- Lower the pressure for delicate or low-pile carpet and raise it toward 300 PSI for heavy traffic-lane soil.
- Pre-spray and dwell on greasy or set-in stains, then extract with overlapping dry strokes to pull out moisture.
- Use a defoamer in the recovery tank to protect the vacuum motors.
- Add airmovers after extraction to speed drying and reduce the risk of wicking.
Frequently asked questions
How adjustable is the pump?
The pump dials from 100 to 300 PSI, so you can soften pressure for delicate carpet or open it up for heavily soiled areas.
Does this model have a heater?
No. The 86-2300 is a cold-water machine; pre-treating with the right chemistry handles most soils effectively.
Does it come with a wand and hoses?
This is the machine-only version, so you add the wand, hoses, and hand tools that fit your work.
How does it run on a single cord?
It uses one 12/3-gauge power cord, which simplifies setup compared with dual-cord machines, though you should still use an adequate circuit.
Why choose 6 gallons?
A 6-gallon unit is light and portable for stairs and vans, while 12-gallon machines suit larger jobs with fewer refills.
