Pick one of these up too. The refurb doesn't have one.

It comes with the following...
Included in the set:
Wii U console (Black/32GB Internal Storage*)
Wii U GamePad (Black)
Nintendo Land game disc
Wii U AC Adapter
Wii U GamePad AC Adapter
High Speed HDMI Cable
Sensor Bar
Eligible for Deluxe Digital Promotion.
But I don't know what a new one comes with ;( I bought refurbished and the only thing I bought was a gamepad charging stand via amazon, which is a must-buy IMO. It's only around $5
Though it's only $6 on Amazon for those that don't have. I think it's worth it just for the charging cradle. A lot more convenient to just drop the gamepad in instead of plugging the cable in everytime.
I got the $200 refurbished deluxe system right after E3 and I have loved every minute of it. The system looked brand new and it works perfectly. The only thing it doesn't have is the gamepad stand/cradle set, but you can get it really cheap on Amazon now.
You might try keeping an eye out for an official refurbished model directly from Nintendo. They're currently out of stock but are very reliable and include almost all the essential features for just $200 (NA region only.)
One-year warranty, 32GB hard drive, Deluxe Digital Promotion (closes Dec. 31 but still,) a copy of Nintendo Land... all the basic stuff. The only things you're missing are the 160 Club Nintendo coins for registering a new console (although anecdotally, some people are getting these coins anyway) and the surprisingly useful stand + charging dock combo which almost always sells for $4-$6.
Overall a great deal, although that DKC:TF + SM3DW + Nintendo Land bundle that was floating around for a while is also pretty good... if you already want all of those games, at full price.
You can get one off Amazon for $5. Definitely worth the convenience.
Link for the lazy
I picked one of these up 2 weeks ago when they were in stock, and I love the system so much! I got MK8 refurbished too and it works great, and came with the case. I now have DKC:TF and SSB4 also, but still trying to find the elusive Pikmin 3 hard copy.
For everyone who got the refurbished Wii U: Buy this cradle and holder on Amazon for $5! It doesn't come with the refurbished model, and it's currently 75% off!
Also, refurbished Mario Kart 8 is back in stock, and this time it comes with a Wii Remote Plus and a Wii Wheel!
Have you tried a docking station? The charging port on mine went out years ago, but it charges via the dock just fine.

> I bought it for my family only a few days ago and we've already had to charge 3 controllers which is 1 too many for the Wii u to do
The Wii U has 2x USB ports in front of the console and 2x USB ports at the back. So you should be able to recharge four Wii U Pro Controllers at the same time.
If you didn't buy a bundle, then I can happily recommend the official Wii U cradle + stand to function as the GamePad's charging station. The other stand is nice too when you need to put the GamePad upright.
In Europe, the GamePad adapter specs:
Hope this helped.
as a refurb it comes in a box that says refurbished that's it, and it doesn't come with Gamepad Charging base and cradle, or the little clips to hold the Wii U Verticle, other than that, not a scratch or anything.
You can find Wii U gamepad stand kits for pretty cheap now. The non-charging stand works well for my XL and OG Vita. It might work for the 2000.

the usb cable that comes with the wii u is meant to be plugged into the wall outlet. not in the box. and there are stands where you can put your controllers. like this http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Station-Wii-U-Nintendo-6304900/dp/B00A878J5I one. and you get a http://www.amazon.com/Wii-GamePad-Stand-Cradle-Nintendo-U/dp/B009AFLXTS with the wii u so use that. better tthan pluggin in the usb cable all the time
By energized charging stand, do you mean this?
