I purchased the Brother MFC L5900DW Printer for my home office. This is a large business class printer, which has a large current draw. My home office is on a 15 amp circuit in our new home with AFCI circuit breakers (AFCI circuit breakers are required by code in new homes since 2008 - in most states. The AFCI circuit breakers look like regular circuit breakers except that they have a test button and trip with current surges, for safety.) I tried to unplug everything else on the circuit, updated the firmware and had an electrician check the circuit breaker. The printer would trip the circuit breaker after printing one or 2 pages. I tried to call Brother customer service and tech support but could not get through. I called Amazon, who was unable to get in touch with a the proper person at Brother. I was replacing an great Brother MFC printer , which lasted for 6 years. Maybe the MFC L-5900DW is a great printer but Ill never know. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THE Brother MFC L5900DW for use in a home with AFCI circuit breakers. I was not able to get any support from Brother but thanks to AMAZON I was able to return the printer and purchase a different laser printer from Amazon.
