Purchased two years ago and used about 3 times.
I'm selling it because my wife complained about the chaff cleaning and the strong roasting smell when I roasted in the kitchen (tears).
I believe it's clean as it was used sparingly. I gave it a quick wipe down.
Please clean the inside of the drum once before use. Comes with a hopper and sampler. It also has a built-in thermometer, making it easy to get started. No instruction manual. It's hand-cranked, not electric. I enjoyed using it. Recommended for those living alone or who can roast outdoors (lol).
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
Good value for the price. The item works as expected and there have been no issues during use. Everything seems to function properly.
