What Sets Sunseeker Apart
Nothing To Bury
The machine maps the property itself instead of following a cable pegged around every bed
Gen 2 Drops The Antenna
The Gen 2 machines carry positioning on board, so there is no separate reference station to site and power
Wheels For A Fine Lawn
Lighter and quieter than a tracked machine, and kinder to established turf and tight borders
A Ladder, Not One Machine
Six models means you can buy the step that fits the ground rather than over- or under-specifying
The range, by ground covered
Coverage figures as published by Sunseeker. Navigation differs across the range — it is worth matching the method to your plot rather than assuming the range shares one.
| Model | Published coverage | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| X4 | Up to 0.3 acre | A town garden or a single compact lawn. |
| X5 Gen 2 | Up to 0.5 acre | A standard suburban plot, front and back. |
| X7 Gen 2 | Up to 0.75 acre | A larger garden, or one broken into sections. |
| X7 Plus Gen 2 | Up to 1.5 acres | A small paddock or a generous rural plot. |
| X9 | Up to 3 acres | Grounds rather than a garden. |
| X9 Plus | Up to 6 acres | The largest single machine we carry. |

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Every machine in this range maps its own working area, so there is no cable to lay around the lawn or around each flower bed.
The Gen 2 machines carry positioning on board, so there is no separate reference station to site and power. Check the specification for the exact model you are looking at — this differs across the range and it changes what you have to install.
Start with plot size, then adjust for complexity. If your ground is near the top of a model's published figure, take the next step up — a lawn in three sections with paths between them takes considerably longer than one open area of the same acreage.
This is the question worth asking before you order, because navigation methods differ across the range and they do not all handle a dense canopy equally. Describe your plot to us and we will match the method to it. Our buying guide compares the approaches.
It matters on slopes and soft ground. Wheels are lighter, quieter and gentler on established turf, which suits most gardens. If your lawn has a gradient you would think twice about pushing a mower up, or it holds water, a tracked machine is the safer buy.
Generally in light rain, yes. Whether it should is a different question — wet grass clumps and cuts less cleanly, and soft ground marks more easily. Many owners schedule around the forecast for the sake of the lawn rather than the machine.
