Panasonic Hot Curler EH-SE50 Matsuge Kurun I purchased this item used and have used it several times. I have cleaned it as thoroughly as possible, but there is a feeling of use. The battery compartment shows signs of aging. I have confirmed that it powers on. Batteries are not included, so please insert your own AA batteries. When shipping, I will package it to prevent it from getting wet. If you have any other questions, please comment.
