Sunseeker X5 Gen 2
Light AWD network RTK mower with an edge disc for half acre yards
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Sunseeker X5 Gen 2 worth it? The X5 Gen 2 is a lighter, cheaper AWD alternative to big network RTK mowers, with a separate edge disc that both testers liked. It costs $1,999 as of Oct 30, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
The X5 Gen 2 is a lighter, cheaper AWD alternative to big network RTK mowers, with a separate edge disc that both testers liked. It relies on cellular RTK and cameras, so it can refuse to mow where the signal is weak and it misses small objects. Skip it if you want app height control or no subscription.
Best for: half acre yards with edges to keep tidy. Skip if: your yard has poor cell or satellite signal.

What independent reviewers found
- Mixed verdict. Edge cutting was praised and the six blade floating deck cut cleanly, but it missed a garden hose and refused to mow where network RTK signal was weak in a city garden. Its IPX5 rating was the lowest in the comparison.
- inside digital
- Positive verdict after two weeks on a 337 m² flat lawn: about 122 m² per hour, about 100 minutes per charge, about 60 dB, no escapes from the map. It left about 8 cm uncut along walls versus 3 cm claimed and hit a small ball and a porcelain snail.

Questions buyers ask
Is there a subscription?
Yes. NetRTK and 4G are included for 24 months, then $49 a year, and Sunseeker says continued use requires an active subscription.
Does it need an antenna?
No. It uses network RTK over its built in 4G, so there is no base station to install. A local base station is sold as an accessory.
Can I change the cutting height in the app?
No. Both testers note the 20 to 60 mm height is set with a dial on the mower.
