I’d stick with the intended orientation personally. A friend of mine had hers tipped over for a while and said the heating side felt off, like it wasn’t pushing air the same way. Might just have been her unit though.

That helps, thanks. Short hose next to the unit actually sounds fine for how I’d use it, since I’m not trying to park a bucket across the yard or anything. My old one was the opposite problem, hose barely reached and I was always dragging the thing closer to a tap, so having the bucket sit right there is honestly an improvement for me.

The tipping thing was my main worry and it sounds like a non issue if the bucket is basically beside the machine. I’m still weighing it against just grabbing a cheap corded one and dealing with an extension cord, but the no tap part keeps pulling me back. I’ll probably end up trying it and seeing how the suction holds up with my own bucket before deciding if it stays.

I haven’t actually tried the bucket setup myself, but the self suction part is the main reason I’m looking at this one over the cheaper models. My old one needed a tap nearby and that got old fast. Does the intake hose reach far enough to sit in a normal bucket without tipping it?
