It seems that my machine starts having trouble after about 10 hours of use,
sometimes only 5. The fan still runs, but the force is gone. I turn it off
for awhile and, when I restart it, all is well.

Do you suppose the degree of my apnea, complex, might be more than the motor
on that machine can take? It shouldn't be but every machine I've ever used
has gone belly-up. Now this one is misbehaving. Thanks

If you've had several machines break down, it sounds more likely you have a
power problem. Either the outlet/circuit or the power strip if you're using
one. You or someone knowledgable can test the outlet or strip to look for a
problem.

When you get your ASV (since you'll be paying big bucks for it) you may want
to test the circuit it will be on and also invest in power line conditioning
for that circuit, to protect your investment. Just a suggestion.

Get a good _surge protector_ at a place like
Best Buy or Circuit City. Not a cheap one,
because they either are not very effective
or, if they are, they die quickly. Read the
specs on the box and get a good one.

Who is your local power provider?
What are your pressures?
How many hours per night average do you use it?

Good idea. I was thinking more along the lines of imperfect grounding
and/or voltage sagging. Info, if you use a battery (for backup, travel,
etc.) it is possible you don't have the right configuration to run your
equipment and this can shorten blower life as well... just some more
thoughts.

What are the details of how you hook up the machines? Same outlet/circuit?
Same power strip? Etc.
