Does anyone here have a problem with their CPAP machine?

I returned 2 Phillips CPAP machines for the recall, a Dreamstation and a Dreamstation Go. I ended up buying a less expensive ResMed AirMini and use it as my everyday CPAP. I gave up on waiting for a year to get a replacement and trashed both Phillips CPAPs. Then finally I received a barebones replacement Dreamstation with no power cord and I sent it back. They have so many users I don't think it's an option to send it back for repair if there is a recall. I did have one instance prior to the recall where the CPAP stopped working and did send it back for repair. I used a loaner until I received it back in about a month if I remember correctly.

I'm more than a year into my second ResMed Airsense 10 machine - literally wore the previous one out - the maximum usage hours had been exceeded.

I've not had any issues with either, just normal maintenance items. If mine breaks, I can use my old machine as a backup.

Is it safe? Probably. It's been out there for a long time without issues.

Is it effective? I don't know - it appears to not help enough with apnea when laying on my back (AHIs are too high) but are much better when sleep on my side.

I'm trying to get a pressure bump since the sleep med people want me to sleep on my back, but that's been rejected for 4 weeks.
