Some people love mowing their lawns over the weekend—it’s maybe the only time they get in the sun. However, for most of us, mowing the lawn is nothing more than a chore, eating into the already scarce free time we have. It’s noisy, tedious, and just eats up too much time.
“So,” you might be thinking, “those newfangled robot lawnmowers must be just the thing. Right?” Well, sorry to break it to you, but most automated lawnmowers need so much setup and babysitting, you might as well do it yourself. However, that’s where theSunseeker Elite X5brings a whole new level of autonomy to mowing lawns of 0.5 acres or smaller.
Welcome to Next-Generation Fully-Automatic Mowing!
Sunseeker Elite X5
The Sunseeker Elite X5 is a high-performance robotic lawnmower designed for lawns up to 2,000 m². It uses advanced AONavi navigation with RTK-GNSS, V-SLAM, and Vision AI to map your lawn and avoid obstacles with precision. Its all-wheel drive and floating cutting disc handle steep slopes and uneven terrain with ease. With quiet operation, app control, rain detection, and multi-zone support, the Elite X5 offers a fully automated, low-maintenance mowing solution for a consistently neat and professional-looking lawn.
Unlike a robot vacuum in a nice, enclosed, and controlled indoor environment, automated mowers face lots of navigational challenges. Uneven terrain, lots of no-go zones (you don’t want it mowing your roses), and a sometimes ambiguous garden perimeter.
Sure, GPS helps in the broad strokes, but it’s just not accurate enough, which is why most current-generation mowers rely on a pre-installed perimeter wire, and solutions like pinging a transponder in the charging base to help determine their position.
The Sunseeker Elite X5’s AONavi™ Positioning and Navigation System combines the best of these technologies, with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite positioning technology, which uses onboard motion sensors to enhance the accuracy of GPS. That data is used to augment the mower’s VSLAM visual navigation system, so it can use its “eyes” to confirm what its motion sensors and satellite data are saying.
Thanks to 3D binocular vision, the mower can see and understand its surroundings thanks to proprietary deep learning algorithms, giving the Sunseeker Elite X5 its AI powers. The Sunseeker X5 Elite can perceive the contours of the lawn or important aspects of the terrain, allowing it to plan its mowing path optimally. It can also smartly recognize obstacles and work around them.
The All-Terrain Conqueror
All the planning in the world won’t help if your mower can’t actually reach the parts of the lawn it needs to. The Sunseeker Elite X5 features all-wheel drive, 180-degree rotatable rear wheels, independent front suspension, and a floating cutting disc that automatically adapts to dense grass and uneven terrain—so you’ll get a consistent trim even if your garden isn’t perfectly level.
This is what Sunseeker calls the ATC or All-Terrain Conquer system.
This design lets the Sunseeker X5 Elite tackle up to 60% slopes (30 degrees) and makes it possible to plan efficient and attractive straight-line mowing. However, it’s not all about power and overcoming rougher terrain. The Sunseeker Elite X5 is also built to be gentle on your lawn and avoid damaging your turf.
The steering motor is only engaged when necessary, and is precise enough to apply only soft friction to the grass. So don’t worry about gouges in your precious lawn!
Truly Wireless
We’re not just talking about the boosted Lora Wi-Fi system, which you’ll find in the entire Sunseeker X series. Yes, its signal transmission range of 200 meters is mighty impressive, but we mean those annoying perimeter wires that last-generation mowers use.
The Sunseeker Elite X5 uses its AI brainpower to create virtual boundaries by simply taking a walk with you around the perimeter you wish to set. Alternatively, you can simply tap a button in the app to have the mower autonomously map out the area. It could not be simpler.
Even better, Over-The-Air updates ensure that newer algorithms help refine the smarts of the Sunseeker Elite X5, making it more accurate and more effective with each new update.
Speaking of the app, the Sunseeker Smart App allows for full smart home integration of your mower, whether you’re using Alexa or Google Home. So, once you have it all set up, you can control what happens with your lawn care from a central place.
Quiet, Efficient, Smart, and Built for Your Modern Life
If you’d rather be doing anything but mowing your lawn, theSunseeker Elite X5offers a quiet, efficient, and, most importantly, hands-off lawn care solution for 0.5-acre gardens or smaller. If you’re someone who values their time and would rather spend it doing something other than cutting grass, consider buying aSunseeker Elite X5or any of the excellent mowers in the range.
