It depends how good a job you want.
Ours is a bit rough in places and not that even as we were trying to remove a deep dark wood stain. However, ours are wood tiles so we were weighing up <£200 all in to improve the look of our downstairs vs £2k for new flooring when we moved in.
Young kids have fuck it anyway so I don't care that it's not as good as it could be, and I'm glad we spent very little on it.
My tips don't relate to technique, but the dust management:
- seal off every room with two
plastic dust sheets in a door/curtain to create an air lock style system. If you've got stairs put them at the top and bottom. - Cover your hair
- use two of those black o-rings you can see in your pic holding the bag and always change the bag early. Having a bag break is a massive PITA
- seal off every room with two

We hired a floor sander rather than kneeling and sanding for years, surely it cannot be that difficult.
