Honestly, I've never really had an issue and we use ours all the time. But that's definitely an extra step you can take to ensure the longevity of your machine!
Why does every youtuber that owns a Ninja Creami owns the older one and all of the videos are from 3 or so years back. I can never get one that owns the new 11 in 1 like we do. We have used it twice so far.
