I was in active use until the fall of last year (2025), but I decided to sell it when I bought a new one. As you can see in the photos, there are some scratches, but they do not affect cooking, such as stews and curries. A recipe book is included for instructions on how to use it, so please refer to it. The box is not included, but the main unit, cord, and the included rice paddle are included. If you understand, please consider purchasing it.
