Or, you can simply turn the unit so that the hose port faces the direction you desire.
But the power cord should be on the back. Which it is until you make the back the front, then the power cord hangs in front of the nightstand drawers, making it difficult to open them.
That is the way I used the machine.

It's a bi..h to pour water into that little hole and peering down into it I never know how full it is and thus I often over fill it requiring a get a towel and wait 'til it blows off all the overfill.

Take the tub out of the machine, pour the water into the well until it reaches the level of the tub seam, don't worry about any water in the well, it'll blow into the tub, put the tub back into the machine. No peering into the that
little hole or wiping required.
I use a SoClean sterilizer. Removing and reinstalling it is more trouble than the alternative.

Hose management.
A bedside crane is perfect.

Maybe we could get Rube Goldberg to come up with one of his EASY Solutions.

The old machine served you well and lasted for the expected amount of time. If you worry about a "newer one coming out," you cannot buy a CPAP, or a car, or a computer, or a phone.
