Any Lab Box users, how do you rinse/wash?

I got one for some quick in the kitchen single roll development and was wondering if it's easier to just rinse in the Box or transfer to another tank for the Ilford style water conserving rinse method.

Maybe use the Ilford method but instead of inversion just spin the reel in the Box for a little while, then change out water?

I Know what the manual says, just wanting to use as little water as possible.
10 times seems excessive.
Manual:
"After having disconnected the module, fill
and empty the tank a few times. Then fill
the tank approximately halfway and rotate
vigorously the knob for about 20-30 seconds.
Repeat the process about 10 times
and alternate with rinses under running
water."

TIA
