CONCLUSION

   The Spark 980 robot vacuum cleaner by Zigma may not stand out in terms of available features (or even build quality really) but it did perform extremely well during the 3-week period i used it for. As a matter of fact, in terms of suction power it did better than expected and surpassed most other models that have arrived in the lab to date (mopping on the other hand was just ok). Battery life is also very good and at its lowest setting i was able to significantly surpass the advertised number of 120 minutes (still, if this was recorded at standard suction power it’s almost right on the spot - Zigma has since upped the number to 140). Unlike other vacuums it was also able to enter certain areas without getting stuck (instead of forcing itself underneath cabinets it just turned around) and even though this applies to my office and house i imagine others may have similar areas. That being said its Android/iOS app may not offer the same number of available features and settings like some others do but it’s more than enough while the bundled remote control is certain to come handy to elder people (or people who just don’t like using their smartphones).

   Currently Zigma has a sale for their Spark 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner so you can get your very own for just USD239.99/299.99Euros (Wallmart/Zigma.co) a price tag which is more or less balanced for what this model offers. Unfortunately, availability in stores is limited at best so your best choice is getting it directly from Zigma (that shouldn’t be an issue however, they seem to have warehouses in many places). Well, there’s not much else i can say about the Spark 980 that’s not already mentioned in this review and since it does deliver as advertised (and then some) it deserves the Golden Award.
