Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
1. Oswald, Ed (2024-09-10). "Sunseeker Orion X7 review: A great robot lawn mower with a subpar app". PC World. Archived from the original on 2025-11-24. Retrieved 2025-11-24.
  The review notes: "The Orion X7 is new, so there were bound to be some problems; every robot mower I’ve tested to date has had one quirk or another. It’s not impossible to set up, you just need to have some patience. And with any luck, it’s a process you might need to do just once. Problems of this nature are magnified at a mower at this price, because buying a higher-end robot mower brings higher expectations when it comes to babysitting the tool—and this toddler requires quality hands-on time at the outset. Every other element of the Sunseeker Orion X7—from its innovative floating cutting plates to its impressive AI and vision capabilities, which make it great for people who want to mow at night—is the best I’ve seen."
2. Hart, Spencer (2025-05-25). "I've been reviewing a GPS robot mower for a month – now I'll never mow my lawn manually again. After a month with the Sunseeker X5, my lawn looks like a golf course – and I haven't lifted a finger". Stuff.tv. Archived from the original on 2025-06-19. Retrieved 2025-11-24.
  The review notes: "For the past month, I’ve handed the job over to a robot – the Sunseeker Elite X5, to be precise – and it’s been quietly transforming my garden into something that looks professionally maintained. ... I’ve tested robot mowers before, including a Flymo that looked like a giant plastic pumpkin. The Sunseeker X5 is the opposite. It’s all clean lines, low profile, finished in black and grey – smart without being shouty. ... Of course, it’s not perfect. The biggest thing is that it doesn’t quite get to the very edges of the lawn, so you’ll still need a quick once-over with a strimmer every week or so. One morning, I got a notification saying the mower was stuck – it had dipped a wheel into a flowerbed and couldn’t find its way out. The issue wasn’t so much that it got stuck (we all have off days), but that it kept trying to free itself, spinning its wheels and gouging out a decent chunk of lawn in the process."
3. Speed, Richard (2025-11-01). "Robotic lawnmower uses AI to dodge cats, toys: The Sunseeker Elite X5 can mow on its own, but it doesn't come cheap". The Register. Archived from the original on 2025-11-24. Retrieved 2025-11-24.
  The review notes: "The tentacles of AI seem to be reaching everywhere, even to the humble lawnmower. We tested the Sunseeker Elite X5, a robotic mower that uses machine learning to steer around your lawn, to see what happens when artificial intelligence meets whirling blades of doom. ... In use, the X5 is quiet, effective, and efficient. While we couldn't help but hum the theme to Robocop while it did its thing, the resulting finish and stripes were impressive, although the need to set the cutting height manually is an annoyance, as is the requirement for two power sockets. The device is well-adapted for the UK climate and will return to its charger if it detects rain."
4. Prospero, Mike (2025-09-05). "The Sunseeker X3 Plus robot lawnmower has been trimming my yard all summer - 3 things I like and 1 I don't". Tom's Guide. Archived from the original on 2025-11-24. Retrieved 2025-11-24.
  The review notes: "The Sunseeker X3 Plus is a nice little robot lawnmower for those who have yards that aren’t too big or too steep. It’s easy to set up — I would never recommend buying a robot lawnmower that requires a boundary wire — and it did a good job at keeping my grass trimmed throughout the summer. Still, it’s not foolproof, as it got caught on what I thought were pretty low-profile obstacles. And, while I haven’t reviewed them, the Sunseeker X3 costs the same, or more than, other robot lawnmowers that are more capable on paper."
5. Carrick, Tony; Morgan, Kate (2025-06-02). "The 5 Best Robot Lawn Mowers Cut Grass Perfectly So You Don't Have To". Popular Mechanics. Archived from the original on 2025-11-24. Retrieved 2025-11-24.
  The review notes: "The Sunseeker L22 relies on ultrasonic technology and bumper sensors to weave around trees and avoid landscaping beds or other obstacles that might interrupt a rectangular mowing path. It even allows you to fine-tune how close it gets to obstacles as it works its way around them, so you can give delicate landscaping features a wide berth. If it does bump into something, it also has a safety mechanism that will halt the mower in its tracks."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the Sunseeker brand to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Comment: I reframed the article to be about the brand, rather than the company, since the sources are about the brand. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
