What reviewers found
Sunseeker X7
- PCWorld (TechHive): On a quarter acre lot the 0.75 acre model avoided a drainage hole that trapped other mowers, even at night, and its floating plates evened out a bumpy lawn. Boundary setup took almost an hour; it could not climb a steep side slope; app was the main weakness. Source
- The Gadgeteer: Mapped about 484 m² with RTK; mowing it took just under two hours. Avoided a person's legs but not a softball, and needed no go zones under trees. Did not auto resume after charging. Ranked a close second to a Mammotion Luba. 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
