I have confirmed that the appliance powers on and the blades rotate. I have not tested the actual mochi-making function, so please understand this before purchasing. Please understand that I do not know the period of use or the purchase date. This item has been stored and shows signs of scratches and dirt. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in a reused cardboard box. This is a "as is" sale. I do not accept returns, refunds, or exchanges. Please purchase with the understanding that there will be no claims or returns after purchase.
