Product review (5 stars): And they don't recommend that. After 6 years of constant use
This is my second Edgestar ice maker. I bought my first one around 2005. I had it under my dry bar (filling it whenever I needed to) for 6 years. Leaving it on constantly. And they don't recommend that. After 6 years of constant use, it died.   I replaced it with another brand. Ran it constantly for 2 months. It died. Bought another Edgestar. 4 years of CONSTANT use, still runs like a charm. Amazing ice maker!!!
