Does anyone here have a problem with their CPAP machine?

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.

My AHI numbers are high if I sleep on my back also so I try to sleep on my sides as much as my achy shoulders and arms allow me. I've never been told by my sleep medicine team that I need to sleep on my back. They've always been focused on me trying to keep my AHI below 4 events which is normally what it is if I sleep most of the night on my sides.
