A 25-year-old man in Perth is in hospital after a robot vacuum explodes inside his home kitchen, causing extensive burns. Reports say the incident occurs on Thursday afternoon and that the man suffers burns covering about 75 per cent of his body. Emergency services respond at the scene, and he is taken to hospital in a serious condition. One outlet reports he is in critical condition, while another describes him as being hospitalised with burns to most of his body. Both accounts describe the incident as a “freak” accident and place it in the kitchen of the man’s residence. No details are provided in the available reports about the brand or model of the vacuum, the cause of the explosion, or any other people being injured. The man remains under medical care following the fire and explosion linked to the device.
