STIHL iMOW® robotic mowers: for a perfectly maintained lawn
STIHL iMOW® robotic mowers mow your lawn completely automatically, can handle gradients up to 40% (and even 45% for the EVO models) and independently recharge themselves. Thanks to electric height cutting adjustment and a new mowing system, you can achieve precise mowing results every time.
The iMOW® works quickly, independently and uses smart mowing so you have even more time to enjoy your freshly cut lawn.
High blade speed produces a clean cutting pattern on the grass. The robust, free-swinging and durable blades regularly change rotation direction to produce a consistently precise result.
The iMOW® robotic mower can cut grass to your chosen height between 20 and 60 millimetres. It’s very easy to adjust the iMOW® to an exact grass length: just use the app to set the cut height according to your preference.
The STIHL iMOW® easily masters gradients up to 45%, adjusting its mowing speed in the process. So even hilly areas are no problem for the robotic mower. With the upgrade kit, the iMOW® EVO can tackle gradients as high as 55%.
Every STIHL iMOW® has a lithium-ion battery with smart charge management on board as an energy source. This feature means the iMOW® can charge its battery very quickly when it needs to rapidly resume an ongoing mowing process; during periods outside mowing plan activity, the battery is automatically charged slowly and gently.
The MY iMOW® app makes your iMOW® robot mower even smarter. Conveniently control your iMOW® from anywhere, rapidly retrieve mowing data in real time and much more. Download the app for Android and iOS, or get started online straight away at: myimow.stihl.com.
The iMOW® models can also be connected to smart home devices, enabling convenient operation via voice control.
The new-generation iMOW® is equipped with a rain sensor and autonomously adjust its mowing schedule depending on the weather. You also have the option to customize how the mower reacts to rain.
The iMOW® operates at a maximum volume of 61 dB (A), so it won’t disturb you when you are spending time in the garden.
The new iMOW® generation uses LED strips at the front and rear to communicate its status. iMOW® EVO models also feature a matrix display, for even simpler communication by means of animated symbols.
The STIHL ¡MOW® as a smart product
With the MY iMOW® app and smart home integration, STIHL robotic mowers offer smart, straightforward operation.
Operation via the MY iMOW® app
The MY iMOW® app makes your iMOW® robot mower even smarter. Conveniently control your device from anywhere, rapidly retrieve mowing data in real time and much more. You can download the MY iMOW® robotic mower app from the App Store and Google Play or get started online straight away at: myimow.stihl.com.
Using the STIHL MY iMOW® app, you can individually set the mowing duration wherever you are, and create an agile mowing plan. You always have an overview of maintenance information, performance data and other important functions of the robotic mower in real time.
For greater flexibility, the mowing plan can be individually adapted to seasonal growth phases. You can also use the app to view current weather forecasts and respond to these during active periods.
The new iMOW® robotic mowers are equipped with numerous sensors that detect if the iMOW® is picked up, and immediately trigger an alarm. In addition to carrying detection, the new iMOW® models also have another safety feature: when the function is activated via the app, the iMOW® robotic mower is blocked as soon as the power tool is outside its defined home area. You will also be able to access information about the mowing performance of your iMOW® robotic mower. The STIHL iMOW® app is available for Android and iOS smartphones, and also as a web app for your computer.
iMOW® and iMOW® EVO models can be connected to smart home devices such as Amazon Alexa, and then conveniently operated via voice control.
The new iMOW® generation offers connectivity via wi-fi and Bluetooth®. In the iMOW® EVO series, this is further expanded with additional mobile network connection.
Installation support
Through our specialist dealers
Nobody knows the iMOW® robotic mower better than your authorised STIHL dealer. They will be happy to carry out installation for you. If you wish, they can also lay the boundary wire for you, place the docking station, create the mowing plan, and program all the necessary settings on the iMOW®.
Questions and answers
The iMOW® robotic mower is suitable for small, medium and large lawns, and can cover up to approximately 5,000 m² depending on the model and lawn conditions. If your lawn is awkwardly shaped, your STIHL dealer will be happy to look at the area and find the best solution for you.
The iMOW® robotic mower is a mulching mower and does not require a grass collection box. While it mows, it simultaneously shreds the grass clippings into small pieces with its mulching blade. This shredded material is then distributed on your lawn as it mows. Mulching supports your lawn to grow greener and more densely.
Contact an authorised STIHL dealer in your area for advice on which model is right for you. Once you have chosen the right iMOW® robotic mower model, you can create a specialised plan for the area to be mowed. A STIHL dealer will also be happy to help you set up the boundary wire, site the docking station in an ideal position and work with you to program all the settings on the iMOW® and get it ready to go.
The iMOW® robotic mower automatically creates the right mowing plan for optimal lawn quality. You can of course adapt this mowing plan to your preferences, and specify when the iMOW® robotic mower should mow for example. The iMOW® robotic mower then automatically executes the individual mowing plan.
Bushes, beds, trees and other solid objects in the garden can be delineated with boundary wire from the outset. If the iMOW® encounters an unexpected obstacle, such as a garden chair, it will detect this by means of sensors under its hood, slow down its speed and gently bump into the obstacle.
iMOW® robotic mowers are equipped with various sensors. As soon as someone tries to lift the unit, it will stop.
Low edges that can be walked on (such as ground-level paving or paths) are integrated by the boundary wire in such a way that the iMOW® robotic mower cuts the lawn edge cleanly and fully. For hard edges (e.g. walls or tall terrace paving), the iMOW® robotic lawnmower is installed so that it runs as close to the edge as possible.
