I was given the KSMPEXTA as a gift, when unboxing there was no brush or plastic storage housing on top of the attachment. I have viewed several videos and all of them show these parts as included. When I research the KitchenAid website it mentions that the box it comes in is to be used for storage; I put the box out for trash and had to retrieve it. The box is large, most kitchens don't have extra storage space. Also had to research videos on disassembly and cleaning.
