I purchased this new in July of this year and used it only once. It was too large for my home, so I am selling it. The mark on the silicone part in the second photo was there from the time of purchase. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing, as it has been used once. Returns are not accepted. There are no pets or smokers in the home. *I will wrap the outer box in bubble wrap and reinforce it with a paper bag, etc., for shipping. OXO Salad Spinner Large Round Made of plastic 27 x 27 x 15.5 cm Dishwasher safe (low temperature setting)
