- What does self-contained mean on this extractor?
- The solution tank, pump, brush and recovery tank are all on the machine. You fill it, clean the carpet and empty the recovery tank without separate hoses or a remote sprayer.
- How does the internal bladder help?
- It keeps constant brush pressure on the carpet as the solution level drops. Cleaning stays consistent through the tank instead of getting lighter near the end of a run.
- How big an area can it clean per fill?
- The 12-gallon solution tank and 14-gallon recovery tank are sized for large commercial runs. Actual coverage depends on your spray rate and how soiled the carpet is.
- Is it only for carpet?
- Yes. It is designed for carpet and rugs. For tile, vinyl or concrete, use a hard-floor scrubber instead.
- How far can it reach from an outlet?
- The 50-foot power cord lets you work a long way from the nearest outlet. Check that the circuit can carry the machine's load before you start.
- What maintenance does it need?
- Empty and rinse both tanks after each use, flush the solution system, and clean the brush and recovery lid. Regular rinsing keeps the bladder and pump working properly.
