Nicely packaged in compact case, each part enclosed in bubble wrap (2 batteries) to prevent accidental damage. Kit comes with 1 battery, so I ordered an extra battery, since I planned on keeping this unit if it worked well. Tested and had just enough power to wash away dried off mud and bird droppings. Has enough pressure to wash vehicle from 4 ft away. Did not come with any hose clamp to lock the water filter within the water bucket. Used 2 buckets of water to wash my car and I considered this to be the best pressure washer I have used so far. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good one.
