I became a fan of cheese about 2-3 years ago and bought this product. However, it was expensive for me, so I didn't use it often, and I stopped eating cheese as much, so I stopped using it. I've used the product 2-3 times, but it's still a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. There are small scratches on the box. The instruction manual is not included. I purchased it at a cheese specialty store in a department store. It was difficult to set the price, so I've set it close to the retail price. I'm open to price negotiations, so please feel free to ask.
