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®?
The iMOW® works quickly, independently and uses smart mowing so you have even more time to enjoy your freshly cut lawn.
The iMOW® is fitted with 3 free-swinging, extra-sharp blades which provide a clean cut lawn every time. These blades rotate each time they stop, meaning the last for longer before needing to be replaced and the high blade speed produces a clean cutting pattern on the grass.
It's what makes the robotic mower a mulching mower! Mulching is the process of cutting the grass into small clippings which are then dropped back into the lawn, acting as a natural and nutrient-rich fertiliser.
Adjusting the iMOW® to your desired grass length is simple:
- On all iMOW® EVO models and the iMOW® 5, 6 & 7, you can adjust the cutting height via the MY iMOW® app.
- On the iMOW® 3 and iMOW® 4 models, you can adjust the cutting height manually using a rotary knob directly on the device.
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. And with an upgrade kit, the iMOW® EVO can tackle gradients as high as 60%.
All STIHL iMOW® have a lithium-ion battery with smart charge management on board as an energy source. This means the iMOW® can quickly charge its battery when it needs to rapidly resume an ongoing mowing plan activity. And when the robotic mower is outside of it's mowing plan activity, the battery is charged slowly.
The MY iMOW® app makes your iMOW® robot mower even smarter. You can control it from anywhere, rapidly retrieve mowing data in real time and much more. Download the the app for Android and iOS and get started straight away!
The iMOW® can also be connected to smart home devices, for operation via voice control.
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.
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 iMOW® have an LED strip in the control panel. All iMOW® EVO models and the iMOW® 5, 6 & 7 are also equipped with an LED strip on the front that indicates the status of the device. The iMOW® EVO 5, 6 & 7 also have a matrix display with animated symbols to make communication even easier.

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.
STIHL iMOW® robot mowers include smartwatch compatibility too, for Watch OS, Wear OS and Tizen smartwatches. You can use the STIHL iMOW® smartwatch app to start mowing and edging processes, send the STIHL iMOW® to its charging station, access statistics and easily view the active times.
All STIHL iMOW® 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.
All STIHL iMOW® models can be integrated into the innogy SmartHome system. This adds extra smart features to the mower’s standard controls, by means of connection with other parts of the SmartHome system. For example, if there are children who may be running around the garden, SmartHome can detect when the garden door has been opened and automatically order the robot mower to return to its charging station.

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.
Your garden may be home not only to pets, but also to wildlife such as hedgehogs. You can find out if you have any wild visitors to your garden by installing a wildlife camera. The camera will record your garden from different perspectives, even at night, and let you know whether you need to take any precautions. You can significantly reduce the risk of injuring hedgehogs by ensuring that your robot mower is only active during the day: hedgehogs are nocturnal animals and are therefore especially threatened by evening or night mowing processes. The operating instructions for your iMOW® contain further instructions on how to use your mower correctly and how to protect wildlife.
Please bear in mind that hedgehogs are a protected species and it is illegal to catch them and remove them from their natural habitats. The only exception is if you are assisting a sick hedgehog, but in these cases, the animal must be released into the wild again as soon as it has recovered.
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, you can control the robotic mower via the MY iMOW® app.
If the robotic mower is detected being carried, it triggers an alarm signal, which is switched off automatically when the iMOW® is set down. The iMOW® automatically disables its control functions if it is removed from its previously defined home area which acts as theft protection.
