It seems we are increasingly living in a world where we prefer to have a handy robot carry out boring chores like mowing the garden lawn. As a result, robot lawnmowers like Sunseeker’s Elite X5 have become more and more popular.

If you are sick of pushing your manual mower around your garden at the height of summer, then you need to embrace modernity and grab a next-gen Sunseeker Elite X5. Here’s what you need to know.

A geared-up grass guzzler

Despite doing a relatively simple task while it mows your lawn, the Sunseeker Elite X5 is actually quite the innovation in robot mower circles. Let’s take a look at its specs and features.

Specs appeal

So in terms of specifications, Sunseeker’s awesome automatic mower looks like like this:

• Max Mowing Area: 2000m²
• Cutting Width: 22cm
• Cutting Height: 20–60mm
• Battery Capacity: 5Ah

• Dimensions: 68.0 × 42.5 × 26 cm

So now you know a bit about the device’s specs, let’s take a look at some of this turf tackler’s features in more detail.

Wire-free mow mapping

If you’ve used a robot mower in the past, you’ll know that a lot of them require you to set up boundary wires. Not the Sunseeker Elite X5, though. Using AI, your mower can incorporate three distinct methods for maximum mowing optimization:

• Virtual boundaries: You simply need to walk around the perimeter of your lawn with the mower and it will map the boundaries out this way.
• AI-Assit mapping: The Elite X5 can automatically map a lawn by using the AI-assisted mapping feature within the Sunseeker app. You don’t even need to stand up!
• Boundary optimization: Each time the X5 mows your lawn, it will update the boundaries to ensure a very precise mow.

Using the proprietary Sunseeker AONavi™ system to navigate your lawn (a combo of satellite positioning and VSLAM tech) ensures a very accurate mow, and all without you having to lift a finger.

Even without the boundary wires, the X5 ain’t gonna stray from your lawn and into areas you don’t want it entering!

Efficient obstacle avoider

Similar to robot vacuum tech, the X5 robot lawnmower is truly adept at obstacle avoidance. This is a good thing; nobody wants 60,000 pieces of shredded rubber all over their garden from a mowed-to-oblivion dog toy.

If the X5’s Vision AI 3D binocular system spots an obstacle in its path, it will swiftly swerve it, leaving pooch’s toy (and the 200+ other objects it can recognise) to live another day.

Gentle on Turf

The Sunseeker Elite X5 understands that a lawn must be treated with utmost care if it is to look healthy, lush, and green all year round. This is why it uses the proprietary Gentle on Turf cutting system, for year round lawn health.

The cutting disk is floating, meaning that it doesn’t operate at one height, but can operate between a range of 20-60 mm.

This is great if you have uneven turf, as it means the mower won’t be cutting big divots of soil out of the floor where the lawn peaks, and leaving whole areas untouched in the lawn’s troughs.

The wheels are also independent of each other and the mower operates via dual drive, enabling it to tackle uneven lawns with the greatest of ease. The rear wheel can rotate through 180° ensuring accurate movement across your lawn.

Anti-theft for peace of mind

Not content with just cutting the lawn, the Sunseeker Elite X5 can come with an optional anti-theft system. No more concerns that your lawnmower won’t be safe in your garage or garden shed; this device can handle itself!

Using 4G and GPS tech, you are able to track the Elite X5 no matter where it is. So if the worst happens and someone does steal it, you can alert the relevant authorities as to the whereabouts of your mower and ensure the thieves are brought to justice (and you get your mower back too!).

Incredible connectivity

The Elite X5 uses LoRa (long-range) wireless tech that ensures it has plenty of range, staying connected to the WiFi while it cuts your lawn.

It has a cutting range of up to 2000m², so you need to ensure it is connected throughout the mow so it can alert you of any issues. With LoRa, it can! Plus, it even works with Alexa or Google Home, so you can get it mowing without even lifting a finger.

Love your lawn with the Sunseeker Elite X5

Hopefully, you now know enough about Sunseeker’s robot lawnmower to make an informed choice. If you like the sound of putting your feet up while a robot mower does all the work for you, then you’d do well to consider the Sunseeker Elite X5!
