Our breaker problem was a faulty 3 way regular light bulb. Replaced light bulb and no problems. This was on a 15 amp breaker for our living room. Took an electrician quite a while to find...but bingo! When we first moved into or house my 15 year old Kenmore vac would trip the 15 amp breakers in the house and the GFI on our lanai. Took the vac for service but it checked out just fine. Read here on TOTV that plugging the vac into a surge protector and then plugging the protector into the outlet solved the problem. That was great but found that info out AFTER I bought a $450 Dyson. Now I have two vacs. Still use the old vac for the tile and hardwood floors and the Dyson for the rugs. BTW, the Dyson does not need the surge protector only the older vac.
