So, based on what you are saying, it really is just hit or miss on basically all new appliances. I ordered this one from Amazon because it does not have the ALCI plug. Was manufactured first in 2021 - but the description does include "ceramic" so - if that's the case, I assume this also may or may not work at various times.
So, based on your knowledge, would you say.....
1) Wattage is irrelevant
2) Dual voltage is irrelevant
3) Using a non-surge protector extension cord is irrelevant
In other words, it comes down to how the ships power is being distributed at a particular time and how the appliance interprets the reception of the power at that time.
So is there any foolproof method you can depend on....i.e. something with no ACLI plug and not a trace of ceramic?
Interesting note about it being "All Ships" as the Celebration is the first ship I encounted a problem - maybe I was just lucky in the past or the appliances were older.
