Experience the ¡MOW® in action
stihl ¡MOW® robotic lawn mowers
STIHL iMOW® robotic lawn mowers automatically cut the grass, independently circumvent obstacles, can handle gradients of up 45% and autonomously charge themselves at the end of each mowing session. Fast, dynamic mowing plans and simple, intuitive operation mean that all STIHL iMOW® robot lawn mowers promise complete convenience, so you have more time for other projects.
Why choose a STIHL ¡MOW®?
iMOW® robotic lawn mowers have a robust, double-sharpened mulching blade for a guaranteed precise cut. The mulching blade means the iMOW® doesn’t just cut the grass - it also shreds the clippings into tiny pieces and distributes them across the lawn as mulch, which soon decomposes and supplies your soil with the nutrients it needs to support healthy grass. This highly effective natural fertilisation method means that regular mowing results in a greener, lusher lawn.
The rotational direction of the blade is automatically changed with each use, ensuring even wear and a longer service life. STIHL have of course not overlooked safety considerations: if a STIHL iMOW® robot lawn mower is lifted up, the blade stops automatically. A manual stop button also offers additional security.
We believe that an iMOW® should make your life simpler and more relaxed. We have designed it to be especially easy to use, and programming is child’s play thanks to the intuitive user interface – no expert knowledge needed. Our C models can even be controlled using the iMOW® app and a smart home system, after initial setup.
iMOW® robotic lawn mowers operate at a maximum volume of just 60 dB (A), so your time in the garden won’t be disturbed.
An integrated rain sensor enables the iMOW® to pause mowing during wet weather. This function protects your lawn, and prevents the iMOW from slipping on steep banks. Once it is dry again, the STIHL iMOW® will automatically resume mowing.
All iMOWs® feature central cut height adjustment which enables you to quickly set your mower to the desired grass length between 20 and 60 millimetres (8 settings). The adjustment is very precise, as you can read the cutter bar setting from a scale at any time.
The iMOW® can cope with an ever changing garden, as the impact sensors enable it lightly bump into obstacles such as deck chairs, gate posts or climbing frames before heading off to mow in a different direction.
The STIHL iMOW® can work on gradients of up to 45% with ease, adjusting its mowing speed as it goes.
Each of our STIHL iMOW® robot mowers is powered by a lithium-ion battery and has a built-in smart charging system. This allows the iMOW® to charge its battery particularly quickly when it needs to swiftly resume mowing, or when there is no mowing planned, the battery is automatically recharged using the slower charging process.
The iMOW® automatically creates a mowing plan which is tailored to the size of your mowing area. You can adjust this pre-defined mowing plan at any time to suit your needs and change the active times of the robotic mower. The iMOW® is also flexible - if a mowing session is interrupted, e.g. because it is raining, the mower will catchup on lost time during the next mowing session.
These features protect your iMOW® against theft and interference. The GPS location feature on our C models offers an additional layer of security.
STIHL ¡MOW® for smart lawn care
Our C model iMOWs® can be operated using the iMOW® app and a smart home system.
Operating your robot mower with the STIHL ¡MOW® app
You can use the intuitive STIHL iMOW® app to adjust your mowing plan, access status updates and start or pause mowing processes from your smartphone or tablet.
You can download the STIHL iMOW® app from the App Store or via Google Play.
With the STIHL iMOW® app you can customise mowing times and create a dynamic mowing plan, wherever you are. You can add active time restrictions and seasonal growth adjustments, and even integrate current weather forecasts into the active times. You can also receive alerts if your iMOW® robot mower is stuck or as soon as the blade needs changing.
The app offers GPS anti-theft protection, which will notify you if your STIHL iMOW® leaves the vicinity of your home. You can also access – and share on social media – information about the mowing performance of your STIHL iMOW® robot mower. The STIHL iMOW® app is available for Android and iOS smartphones and also as a web app for your computer. What’s more, because the app uses the STIHL iMOW® cloud, you can always be confident that up-to-date information is available on your devices.
All STIHL iMOW® C and PC models can be controlled using Alexa, Apple Home Kit and Google Home. This means that you can use voice control to start and stop mowing processes or check the current status of your robot mower. In order to activate smart home skills for your STIHL robotic mower, you will first need to connect it to your iMOW® account.
Authorised ¡MOW® dealer installation
Nobody knows the iMOW® robotic mower better than your authorised STIHL dealer, and they will be happy to complete the installation for you. Your dealer can also lay the perimeter wire, install the docking station, create the mowing plan and programme your iMOW®. Why not get in touch with your nearest STIHL iMOW® dealer, with a professional service guaranteed from the very start?
Installing a STIHL ¡MOW® yourself
If you decide to install your own iMOW®, you will find step-by-step instructions for installing your robot mower in our article. You just need an installation kit that includes the perimeter wire and the fixing pegs. For lawns smaller than 100 m² we also recommend installing the AKM 100 signal suppressor - there's plenty of information about this in the manual.
STIHL ¡MOW® FAQs
The iMOW® robot mower is suitable for small, medium and large lawns up to 5,000 m² in size. If your lawn is very irregular in shape, your dealer will be pleased to take a look and advise if an iMOW® install is possible.
iMOW® machines are mulching mowers and do not need a grass collection box. During mowing, the mulching blade cuts the grass into small pieces; these pieces are then distributed on the ground, where they break down to become an organic fertiliser and help your grass grow even thicker and greener.
Low, navigable edges (e.g. terraces or paths at ground level) are accounted for by the perimeter wire in such a way that the iMOW® robot mower cuts the edge of the grass cleanly and thoroughly. For hard edges (e.g. walls or raised terraces), the iMOW® robot mower is installed in such a way that it travels as closely as possible along the edge.
Yes, if the iMOW® is able to travel between the two lawns then it can move between the lawn areas. If a clear channel isn't possible, it's possible to manually move the iMOW® to a second lawn.
Contact an authorised STIHL dealer near you for a personal consultation. Once you have chosen the iMOW® robot mower to match your garden, your dealer can draw a plan of the area to be mown. Your dealer will also be pleased to help you lay the perimeter wire and select the ideal position for the docking station, and can then assist you with programming your iMOW® robotic mower and getting it ready for use.
Your iMOW® robot mower will automatically create the appropriate mowing plan to ensure ideal grass condition. You may adjust this mowing plan as you wish, and specify the active times at which the iMOW® robot mower should mow the lawn. The iMOW® robot mower will then cut the grass automatically based on your individual mowing plan.
Bushes, flower beds, trees and other fixed elements in your garden can be cordoned off using the perimeter wire. If the iMOW® robot mower detects an unexpected obstacle, e.g. garden furniture, it will use the sensors under its hood to identify the best direction to travel around the obstacle.
Every iMOW® robotic mower is equipped with a variety of sensors. The device will stop as soon as anyone touches it or tries to lift it up. You can also set up your iMOW® robot mower so that it can only be operated on entry of a PIN. The manual stop button offers additional safety.
Yes, using the removable control console for the RMI 632. The special LCD screen is easy to read in all weather conditions.
All iMOW® robot mowers are equipped with an alarm which is triggered if the mower is lifted up. Our iMOW® robot mowers can also be set up so that they can only be operated if a PIN is entered. For C models, there is an additional option that allows you to receive an email or push notification if the iMOW® robot mower is removed from the mowing area – and with the iMOW® app, you’ll always know where it is.
