The XPOWER X-800 is a 1 hp multipurpose air mover and dryer, supplied with a carpet clamp. Its tough ABS plastic housing is heavy duty, and the unit is designed to quickly and effectively dry your floors.
Where It Fits
The X-800 is the highest-airflow centrifugal air mover in CCW's XPOWER range. Use it on large areas, dense carpet and underlay, and where you want fewer machines doing the same work. The trade-off is weight and stacking height — for lighter carrying, see the X-600AC.

Using the Carpet Clamp
The carpet clamp holds lifted carpet so the air mover can blow underneath it — the usual method for drying underlay and subfloor in place ("floating" the carpet). Clamp the carpet edge, set the air mover in the flat position and direct air under the lifted section. Check the underlay and subfloor readings before deciding to dry in place rather than remove.
Positioning for Drying
- Use the 0° or 20° kickstand position for carpet and hard floors, with the outlet close to the surface.
- Angle air movers in the same direction around the room to set up a circular airflow.
- Use 45° and 90° for walls, stairs and under-bench areas.
- Run air movers with dehumidification — moving air evaporates water, and a dehumidifier has to take it out of the room.
Electrical Safety
- Plug into an earthed outlet protected by an RCD, and keep leads off wet floors where you can.
- Include the unit in your test-and-tag schedule.
- Before daisy-chaining or running several units on one circuit, add up the current draw of every unit and stay within the circuit and outlet rating. The figures on this page are CCW's listing for the 230 V unit.
- Do not run the unit if the lead, plug or housing is damaged.
Care
- Keep the inlet grille clear of lint and debris — a blocked inlet cuts airflow and makes the motor run hot.
- Wipe the housing down after Category 2 or 3 losses and before the unit goes to the next job.
- If the thermal protection trips, switch off, unplug, clear the inlet and let the motor cool before restarting.
Choosing Between CCW's XPOWER Air Movers
| Model | Type | Rated airflow (CCW listing) | Weight | Carpet clamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-230AT Mini | Centrifugal, compact | 700 CFM | 4.3 kg | No |
| PL-700A Low Profile | Low profile | 1000 CFM | 8.7 kg | No |
| X-400 | Centrifugal | 1600 CFM | 7.3 kg | No |
| X-600AC | Centrifugal | 2400 CFM | 8.6 kg | Yes |
| X-800 | Centrifugal | 3200 CFM | 11.2 kg | Yes |
| X-47ATR | Axial fan | 2800 CFM | 11.3 kg | No |
Centrifugal air movers push a concentrated, high-velocity stream across the surface — the right tool for drying carpet, underlay and floors. Axial fans move a larger, wider body of air at lower pressure — better for general air circulation, ventilation and large open areas. Low-profile units get under cabinets, beds and toe-kicks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the carpet clamp included?
Yes, the X-800 is listed with the clamp.
Does it daisy-chain?
CCW's listing for this model does not show an onboard outlet. The X-600AC does.
Is there a multi drying kit for it?
Yes — the X-800 multi drying kit, sold separately, splits the airflow into three hoses for cavities and tight spots.
Why does it only stack 3 high?
That is XPOWER's stacking limit for this size and weight. Stacking higher risks the stack toppling in a vehicle or on a trolley.
