For many homeowners and property managers, robotic lawn mowers offer convenience—but not always perfect results. One of the most common frustrations is finding small patches of uncut grass left behind after a mowing session. While it may seem like a minor issue, it often comes down to how the mower moves.
Traditional robotic mowers typically use front-wheel steering. As they turn, the front wheels press the grass down before the blades can cut it. This “crushing” effect makes it easy for certain areas to be missed, leaving lawns looking uneven despite regular maintenance.
Sunseeker’s Cut-Before-Turn feature is designed to solve exactly this problem. Available on Sunseeker Elite’s latest models introduced this year, including the Elite X Gen 2 and Elite X9 series, the system uses rear-wheel steering to change the mowing sequence entirely.
Instead of turning first, the mower cuts the grass before making its move. This ensures that the grass is upright and fully accessible to the blades, reducing the chances of missed spots. The result is a cleaner, more even lawn with every pass.
Over time, this approach does more than improve appearance. By delivering a more consistent cut, it supports healthier grass growth and a more uniform lawn surface.
With Cut-Before-Turn, mowing becomes not just automated, but smarter—bringing users closer to a truly effortless and professional-looking lawn.
