Oh! That's another error. If I plug in the Power Sentry strip,
then the reading *does* go up, but only when the strip is turned
off. When I turn the strip on, then the reading instantly drops to
less than 1.

The vacuum does have a variable speed motor, although it was probably
set to maximum. The Power Sentry has a ground lite and surge light
and also an on/off switch. The vacuum probably would bother me if
I had it on for extended periods of time, but it doesn't in the
amount of time it takes to vacuum the house.
