The only negative is that there is a pulse feature which works properly but on what I think should be continuous, it also pulses at slow speeds.  It smooths out at faster speeds.  I'm not sure if this is normal for this model and only offer it up in the interest of transparency. It comes with all the items you see pictured.  Copyright on the cookbook is 1979 so I'm guessing that's the age of the appliance.  Chrome finish is at least 90%.  Less reflective of use than of normal environmental effects of 45 years on planet Earth.
