I used it only once. I'm selling it because I have two takoyaki makers at home since I started living with someone, and I don't need this one anymore. There's a little oil stain in the hard-to-reach gaps, but I've cleaned it as much as I could. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It heats up evenly and is very easy to use. The original price was 4,280 yen. *The box is not included.
