I gather from the company promo that beach-party animals love it.

Ah, well, *I* have.

None, usually.

My intro to blenders was when I was working for the Dairy Science
department at the Stockbridge Ag School.  They would feed lab rats on
some test diet for a few weeks.  Then they'd like to see just how much
protein, minerals, fats, whatever the rats had incorporated into their
bodies. How to do that?

Take a bit of muscle here, a drop of blood there, some liver, a tad of
brain and a sliver of bone?  No.  You put the whole rat [1] into a
waring blender for a minute or two.  Then you just take a few ml of
the resulting bree and are guaranteed an average.

I have yet to see any currently sold consumer blender (including
Waring, that they used in the lab) that would do whole rat.

No back to our usual topic...

[1] Whole rat: Whole skinned rat, that is.  They tried whole rat but
    even their powerful Waring blender would snag and stall on the
    hide.  You had to ask... :-)
