The Sandia Sniper 80-2100-H is a 12-gallon walk-behind extractor built for hotels, schools, churches, office complexes, and restoration crews who need to clean a lot of square footage between refills - and need the cleaning to actually look like a deep clean, not a wet pass. The big differences between the Sniper and a smaller spot extractor: the 100 PSI pump that pushes solution all the way through the fiber, the dual 2-stage vacuums that pull the slurry back out fast enough that the carpet dries the same day, and the 2,000-watt in-line heater that turns ordinary solution into truly hot rinse water at the wand.
Why 12 gallons. A typical hotel hallway holds about 200 sq-ft of carpet between the elevators and the first guest room. With a 3-gallon spot machine an operator refills every two rooms; with the 12-gallon Sniper that is most of a wing in one fill. Less time pushing the machine to a sink, more time on the wand. For restoration jobs where the crew is rinsing dirty extraction water, the Quick-Dump 4-inch drain on the 80-2100-H pours out a 12-gallon recovery in seconds compared with the 60-90 seconds it takes to siphon a stuffed 3-gallon tank.

Where the 80-2100-H earns its keep
- Hotels and dorm housing. Hallways, guest rooms, and lobbies cleaned in fewer fills, with hot extraction that lifts grease and food soils.
- Office buildings. Cubicles and conference-room carpet that has been encap-only cleaned for years; the 100 PSI rinse cuts the buildup that maintenance encap cannot.
- Schools and gyms. Wide carpeted assembly areas; large recovery tank handles the soil load from foot-traffic carpet.
- Water-damage restoration. Dual 2-stage vacuums and the 4-inch dump drain make restoration extractions practical with one machine.
Frequently asked questions
Why two 25-ft cords on different circuits?
The dual vacuums plus the 2,000W heater plus the pump pull more amps than a single 15A circuit can carry. Plugging both cords into the same outlet trips the breaker. Two separate circuits is a building-electrical question for the maintenance team and is one of the things to check before booking the first job.
How does heat actually help?
Hot water cuts grease, oily foot-traffic soil, and protein-based stains that cold rinse just spreads. With a 2,000W heater the wand is putting down water at roughly 200-210 deg F - hot enough to dissolve old soil films that cold extraction barely touches. Heat also accelerates dry time because warm carpet evaporates faster.
Will it climb stairs?
The 10-inch wheels and pad-handle frame let one operator walk the empty machine up a flight of stairs. Loaded with 12 gallons it should be drained at the top of the run, not climbed full.
How long does a fill last?
Roughly 30-45 minutes of continuous wand work on a 12-gallon tank, depending on operator pace and trigger discipline. On a soiled carpet you will pull the recovery tank before you empty the solution side.
What pad/tool can I add later?
The Sniper accepts standard wand connections so a 12-inch carpet wand, a stair tool, or a tile/grout pad can swap onto the same hose set. Most operators run the included hand wand for upholstery and detail work and add a 12-inch carpet wand for production runs.
