The Minuteman Gotcha is a portable carpet spot extractor built for stains that do not justify a full-size machine. Its 1.12 HP two-stage vacuum motor develops 71" of water lift and 80 CFM, and a 50 psi pump feeds a 4" clear hand tool, so one operator sprays the spot and extracts it in the same stroke.
Matching 2-gallon solution and recovery tanks sit in a rotationally molded polyethylene body that weighs 19 lbs. It rolls on two 4" wheels or carries by its handle or shoulder strap, and a GFCI on the 25' cord protects the operator. It suits hospitality, institutional, healthcare, airport and retail facilities and building service contractors for daily spot work between full cleanings.
Features
2-Gallon Tanks
Solution and recovery tanks hold 2 gallons each, enough for several spots per fill; the recovery tank unlatches and lifts off to empty.
1.12 HP Two-Stage Vacuum
71" of water lift and 80 CFM pull solution and soil back out of the pile, which shortens drying time.
4" Clear Hand Tool
The injection-molded clear head shows the operator the soil and residue coming up, so it is easy to tell when a spot is done.
Two Cleaning Modes
Switch between vacuum only and vacuum with the 50 psi pump spraying.
GFCI-Protected Cord
A ground fault circuit interrupter on the 25' 18-3 cord shuts the machine off if an electrical hazard occurs.
Roll It or Carry It
19 lbs on two 4" wheels, with a built-in handle and a shoulder strap for carrying it where wheels cannot go.
Chemical-Resistant Seals
Viton seals hold up to today's cleaning chemicals, inside a rotationally molded polyethylene body.
