I think it's for the ones with a lot of fiber in them. I don't make
that kind, I don't even do oatmeal - so I don't care. I do know I
think they're a PITA to clean. DD and DIL both have one, so I've had
personal experience trying to get the crud out of the container and
I'd rather have a regular blender with a removable bottom.
