![]() This will map the area for the first time while doing a clean depending on the mode you have selected.Īs you can see with the above images, it takes the Spark 980 around 30 minutes to clean the ground floor of my house, which is around 5 minutes quicker than the Neabot Q11 takes to do the same floor area. Once you are paired up and you have enough charge, you can simply tap Start Clean in the app to do a Auto clean, which is the default setting. You'll need to turn it over once in a while to clean the drop sensors (more on that later) or check the brush for excess dust clogging. One thing I discovered by accident is that when the Spark 980 is turned upside down, it will power off after a certain amount of time, which is a good safety feature. I had to attempt it twice before it connected.Īs I mentioned before, a bonus here is that you can access and swap out the dust box or water tank while the Spark 980 is docked, however I found that too much movement triggered it to start the redocking process, so you might want to hit the power button to turn it off, before managing the attachments. The connection process works much in the same way as other robovacs, it's hit or miss. The app requires your phone to be on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi because the Spark 980 does not support being connected to the 5GHz band. Then open the Zigma app and add a device by scanning the QR code on the side of the Spark 980. Then power on the Spark 980 and hold down the standby button for five seconds until you hear a beep, this will set it into receive Wi-Fi codes mode. Getting startedįirst of all, you will have to download the Zigma app, which you can look for on the Apple App Store or Google Play, or scan the QR code on the Quick Start card that is included in the box. Oddly enough the water tank is a small compartment across the front of the attachment rather than utilizing the entire compartment, the rest is left open for the brush to "capture" dust and crumbs, since that's all it can do without the motor that is located in the dust box attachment. The water tank has a capacity of 360ml which is enough for three full passes of my ground floor. Flipping the Spark 980 over, you have access to the top buttons and the dust or water tank. On the bottom of the Spark 980, you can secure two side sweepers and either the dustbox or the mop attachment with a cloth that is attached entirely by Velcro strips. However, I must point out that I was pleased to see that the dust box can be removed while the robovac is charging, because it is on the opposite side of the charge ports, this was a good decision in the design process. For a machine that's supposed to replace a daily hand vacuuming task, one would maybe consider that these things shouldn't need to be a centerpiece in the room with glossy black reflective finish, more of a background item that does the job and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. Once again, design aesthetics over function have appeared to win out in the decision-making process, because the Spark 980 is almost completely glossy black, meaning it is both a fingerprint and dust magnet. On first look, everything is presented neatly with clear instructions on how to get started. Zigma sent me the "Upgraded" Spark 980 (which has a max 4000Pa suction power) in a flat pack box, which was conveniently double boxed so that the inner box with the hand grip could be stowed somewhere with the parts or replacements you don't need.
