You only need a rotary with a scrub brush, then either a wet pick up vac or a hard floor wand to suck up the slurry.

I don't think you can effectively run a spinner via a 160psi pump, but I stand to be corrected.

steve is bang on mark. rotary wet pick up  or if you have a glide on your wand will do the job.

All i use is a 175rpm rotary and a triple vac wet vac...thats all you need. dont use a higher rpm machine unless you want to re-decorate customers walls.

Is this any good as a dual purpose machine ? Carpets and hard floors ?

Best buy a dual speed machine. This will give you the ability to scrub/shampoo/bonnet clean then switch up to high speed to buff/polish.

Spinner tools will only work if you have a few hundred psi.

A scrub wand will be good for giving a good rinse but won't clean at such a low pressure.

You could use a small pressure washer to boost your psi and use the vacs on the steempro if you want to use a spinner with the steempro.

Auto dump is defo required though after a while.
