For homeowners, keeping a neatly mowed lawn requires time and effort, time that could be better spent doing something else. This is where having a robotic lawn mower comes in handy. These autonomous battery-powered robots take care of lawn maintenance for you, helping you keep the grass in your lawn properly trimmed with minimal intervention from you. Today’s most modern robot mowers boast innovative features such as advanced sensors for smart obstacle avoidance as well as the integration of GPS technology for accurate navigation around your lawn. They’re also powered by rechargeable batteries, meaning there are no emissions of toxic fumes, thus making them an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered lawn mowers. All that makes robotic lawn mowers a solid investment for those looking to keep their lawn well maintained throughout the year. Enter Sunseeker, a leading brand in lawn care technology, who recently showcased its newest lineups of robotic mowers at Equip Exposition (“Equip Expo”), held in Louisville, Kentucky from October 15th to October 18th.
Sunseeker’s newly announced lineups of robotic lawn mowers include the X Series, along with the S Series and the 60 Volt Commercial & Prosumer handheld OPE Series.
The Sunseeker X Series lineup consists of a broader line of wire-free robotic mowers that includes the X7, X7 Plus, X7 Pro, X5, and X3 Plus models, all of which offer a wire-free operation combined with intelligent navigation systems. Featuring 5 different models of robotic mowers tailored to meet diverse needs in the U.S. market regarding lawn sizes, performance, and pricing, this product line introduces a groundbreaking approach to landscaping solutions, providing flexible options for different customers. Notably, the X7 Pro, X5, and X3 Plus models are exclusively reserved for dealers.

The new branding is part of Sunseeker’s ongoing effort to strengthen its presence in the US market and better align with customer expectations.
Here are the most notable features that each of Sunseeker’s new lineups of robotic lawn mowers have to offer homeowners and lawncare professionals alike.
Sunseeker X Series Wire-Free Robotic Mowers
DESIGN & MAIN SPECS
Designed with flexibility in mind, the X Series robotic mowers come equipped with an all-wheel drive system that makes all models like the X7 capable of managing slopes up to 70% (35º) and the X5 of handling inclines up to 60% (30º).
All models from the X Series lineup also feature a floating cutting design that ensures even mowing across dense grass and uneven terrains, further enhancing their performance.
This series of wire-free robotic mowers also integrates a driven and steering motor for smart turning and gentle grass contact, reducing the turning radius for a more precise cut. By simultaneously trimming and scarifying the lawn, these products provide efficient maintenance, ensuring a lush and healthy yard with minimal effort.
What’s more is that all models also pack an IPX5 Water-Resistance construction, meaning these robot mowers are also built to withstand inclement weather conditions.
NOTABLE SMART FEATURES
AONavi System
One of the major features offered by the Sunseeker X Series robotic mowers is the introduction of its AONavi Positioning and Navigation System, which integrates Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS satellite positioning and VSLAM visual navigation technology.
This helps the mowers to navigate complex lawns more accurately through precise positioning down to the centimeter, even in environments with obstacles or irregular shapes.
Vision AI Technology
Additionally, this new lineup of wire-free robotic mowers also boast a Vision AI System, which utilizes a 3D binocular camera while also leveraging intelligent algorithms, enhancing the mower’s ability to map its surroundings and adjust to varying lawn conditions.
Auto Rain Detection
Moreover, these smart robot mowers also feature auto rain detection, which automatically pauses the robot’s current mowing task, forcing it to return to its charging station when rain is detected. This further helps streamline their autonomous mowing process, providing users with a more convenient, hands-off lawn care experience.
Anti-Theft (Optional)
Best of all, there’s also an optional anti-theft function powred by GPS and a 4G module that enhance the machine’s location information effectively, allowing you to retrieve it in the event of theft.
CONNECTIVITY
For their wireless connectivity, the Sunseeker X Series robot mowers feature Super Wi-Fi connectivity, which extends their signal transmission by 400% in comparison to standard Wi-Fi technology.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
As for the battery capacity offered by the X Series robotic mowers, the X7 integrates a 5 Ah battery that allows it to cover up to 0.75 acres per charge, while the X7 Plus uses a larger 10 Ah battery that enables it to cover up to 1.5 acres of lawn area.
For bigger lawn areas, there’s the X7 Pro, which boasts a dual 10 Ah battery pack that makes it capable of mowing up to 3.0 acres.
All robot mowers in the X Series also feature an auto recharge functionality, automatically returning to their charging station once their battery is running low on power.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The Sunseeker App
All robotic mower models part of the X Series can be controlled through an intuitive mobile app, which allows users to schedule mowing times, plan cutting zones, and customize paths according to the layout of their lawn.
The app’s features, such as multi-zone planning, intelligent path planning, customized schedule, and auto cutting height adjustment make it easy to manage multiple lawn areas, reducing manual intervention.
