I am confused. In some videos it is hanging vertically by two wires, but here it seems there are four wires and it works horizontally. Are people using both setups?

In the about link (above), they do mention the frame:

"If you would like to build the frame shown in the video, that frame is 12' feet, by 2’ by 7’ tall."

Yes, they support either setup, vertical or horizontal

There are 2 Maslow versions: V1 was hanging from 2 chains, and "4" is held from the 4 corners of the workspace, allowing it to be used both in the vertical and horizontal orientation.

V1 also had the electronics & motors on the frame, while V4 moved everything on the sled itself. This enables the option for the "frame" to be basically just 4 anchors on your garage floor, which makes this a very flexible machine.

nearly vertical. It needs 12-15 degrees from vertical. Horizontal is fine.
