I have had a Brutus III for about 1.5 years. (Upgraded from a Sylvia.) I leave mine on 24/7 unless on vacation. I use it every morning and most evenings when the mood strikes. I tried turning the system off but I missed the spontaneity of enjoying a cup when someone visits. I shut off my air condition when not home and have a much more substantial energy savings than shutting the Brutus off. ( I live in south Louisiana where A/C is a dire necessity.) I have not (yet) had any problems with having it on all the time. I do not know if this will shorten its life or increase repair costs but let the good times roll.

The merchant I puchased from recommended leaving the machine on pretty much all the time, turning it off only once a week. I had my Silvia on a timer and was planning to do the same with the Brewtus. I was wondering what other people's thoughts were on this. I know it is a well discussed topic elsewhere with other machines, but I'd like to know what group members think specifically about the Brewtus. One thing I was thinking of doing was leaving the brew boiler on and shutting off the Steam boiler until needed. Thanks and am looking forward to following this group in the future.
