I was using this normally until yesterday. It works without any problems. I'm selling it because my family has grown and a 3-cup rice cooker is no longer enough. In preparation for selling, I wiped down the entire unit with alcohol and cleaned it. I think you'll be able to use it comfortably. As a bonus, I'll include a rice paddle. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous person or if you are looking for a perfect condition item, as this is a home-stored item. Thank you for looking.
