What is the protocol for referring to a device as 'electronic' as opposed to 'electric'? See, when I saw your thread I title I thought it was a bit odd. If you're talking about a device that functions manually but uses electricity as an energy source for convenience then I think that's an electric whatever. If you're talking about a device that requires some sort of electronic control mechanism in order to function then I think that's an electronic whatever. So an ice cream maker that uses a motor powered by electricity for convenience to replace the churning and/or keep the stuff cold would be an electric ice cream maker. But a microwave would be an electronic oven.
