A Dyson has burst into flames in a NSW home.
The Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner was charging inside the Swansea unit, on the NSW Central Coast, about 1pm on Sunday when its Lithium-Ion battery ignited.
The fire spread to a second vacuum cleaner that was stored nearby.

The resident was cooking in the next room, but the smoke alarm alerted them and their neighbours to the fire.
They removed both vacuums from the unit and extinguished the fire with water.
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews responded to the fire, ventilating the unit and putting the battery in a bucket of water to prevent re-ignition.
The fire caused minor damage to the unit. No one was injured.
FRNSW urged the public to “remain vigilant around Lithium-Ion batteries, especially when they’re charging”.
“Ensure your home is fitted with at least one working smoke alarm and maintain a home safety escape plan,” it said.
Dyson has been contacted by 7NEWS.com.au for comment.
