Used a few times. The vacuum was used about twice, and two brushes were used. The other items are unused. The sound is quiet, but my easily-startled cat gets scared and runs away, so I've been brushing her with just the brush. Instruction manual included. I've thrown away the box, so I will pack it in a cardboard box for shipping. Thank you for your consideration. #pet #dogclippers #catclippers #dogbrush #grooming
