## Verdict

The X7 is an AWD, wide deck RTK mower that suits large, uneven lawns where cut quality matters more than speed. PCWorld and The Gadgeteer both praised the even cut, but setup and the app took patience, and PCWorld's unit could not handle a sharp side slope. Skip it if you want a polished app or fast mowing.

## Pros

- 14 in floating dual disc deck
- AWD on the US model
- Strong night mowing in PCWorld's test
- Unlimited zones
- Rain sensor with auto return

## Cons

- Cluttered app and fiddly joystick mapping
- Slow, methodical mowing
- Low clearance hurt on sharp slope changes
- Missed a softball in The Gadgeteer's test
- No current price on Sunseeker's US page
