Purchased 2-3 years ago. I used it a few times, but I put it away in storage after getting a short haircut. I turned it on and the curling iron heated up without issue, so I believe it is usable. There are no noticeable stains, but please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. I plan to wrap the outer box in bubble wrap and then in plastic for shipping. Thank you.
