The Sandia Sniper 80-2100-H is a 12-gallon hot-water carpet extractor built for commercial cleaners and restoration crews who need to deep-clean larger areas without constant tank refills. With a 100 PSI demand pump, dual 2-stage vacuum motors, and a 2000-watt in-line heater that drives solution temperature up to 200 degF, the Sniper delivers the heat-and-pressure combination that loosens embedded soil and shortens dry times on the heaviest job sites.
Built for
- Commercial janitorial routes cleaning office, hospitality, healthcare, and retail carpet
- Restoration contractors handling water damage and post-construction soil
- Property managers and in-house facility teams maintaining apartment turns and common areas
- Carpet cleaning startups stepping up from a portable to a true commercial box extractor
Why heated extraction matters
Cleaners on contractor forums consistently report that hot-water extraction breaks down greasy, traffic-lane soil that cold solution leaves behind. The 2000W in-line heater preheats the dwell water on the way to the wand, so you get hot cleaning even when your building tap supply is cold. Combined with the 100 PSI pump, the Sniper rinses fibers all the way to the backing and pulls more moisture out on the recovery pass.

Frequently asked questions
Does this come with a hose and wand kit?
No. This SKU is the machine only. If you need a complete ready-to-clean package, look at the bundled hose and wand version, or order Sandia accessory kits separately.
How hot does the heater actually get?
The 2000-watt in-line heater raises solution temperature up to roughly 200 degF as it passes through to the wand. Real-world output depends on incoming water temperature and ambient conditions, but the heater is designed to maintain hot-water extraction even from a cold tap.
Can one person manage this on stairs?
The 10-inch non-skid wheels are sized for stair climbing, and the dual 25-foot cords give you reach across most jobs without an extension. For multi-floor commercial work the Sniper is designed for one-tech operation.
Do I need a dedicated circuit?
Yes. With a 2000W heater plus dual 2-stage motors, plan for two separate 115V/15A circuits. Plugging both cords into the same circuit will trip the breaker. This is standard for heated commercial extractors.
Is it CRI certified?
Yes. The Sandia Sniper line carries the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval for superior quality cleaning, an independent recognition that matters when you bid on contracts that specify CRI-approved equipment.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer. US-based customer service can help match the Sniper to a hose and wand kit or upgrade you to a 200 PSI Box Extractor if your work calls for higher pressure.
