In great condition!  My father has been using this for the past two years to make smoothies and he is ready to update to a newer model.  This works fantastically.  As I said, it comes with both the large and smaller container, and the black tamper and the recipe booklet and the dvd, (I think we have the dvd in the book...never looked at it!)  I am enclosing a picture and information that I acquired on this model from QVC.  Their cost was $549 plus tax and shipping.  We are asking $225.  This is a great addition to any kitchen!  Please call me if interested:  Francine-412-589-4813.  Thanks!
