What reviewers found
Sunseeker X5 Gen 2
- inside digital: 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. Source
- instalki.pl: 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. Source
Sunseeker X7 Gen 2
- Yanko Design: One week on a 6,777 sq ft Texas lawn with 32 oaks and an embankment. RTK fixed within a couple of minutes, the map held all week, it cut damp St. Augustine evenly, avoided a hose at night and fit through a 28 in gap. Source
- Homecrux: Hands on with five Sunseeker mowers sent by the company. The X7 ran at night, avoided obstacles reliably and left minimal missed spots; the article calls it the X7 Plus Gen 2 in one place and gives no measurements. Source
