I purchased this on Mercari and used it regularly for about a year. Since I bought it, the power connection has been poor. It works if you plug it into the outlet as shown in the picture. It worked fine until recently, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I washed it daily and used it, but there is some staining. I will clean it as much as possible before sending it. I would like those who want to try it out, or those who are not looking for the pristine condition of a new item, to purchase it. Thank you. *Price is not negotiable.*
