Stihl iMow 5 ROBOTIC MOWER

iMow® 5: Automatic lawn care for your garden

The iMOW® 5 is part of the latest generation of iMOW® robotic mowers from STIHL. Designed for home gardens, these robotic mowers mow your lawn automatically so you don’t have to, giving you a beautiful green lawn, without even lifting a finger. Capable of cutting lawns of up to 1,500 m2 and gradients of up to 40%, the iMOW® is powered by a high-performance lithium-ion battery for efficient and continuous work over long working periods.

The iMOW® is controlled using the MY iMOW® app which controls all of the functions for the robotic mower, such as sending it out to mow, returning it to the dock, changing the mowing plan, adjusting the cutting height or checking the current status of the iMOW®. The robotic mower connects to the MY iMOW® app via your home WiFi network if this reaches your garden or via a Bluetooth connection when you are close to the machine.

The iMOW® is installed by laying or burying a thin wire around the outer edge of your lawn and around obstacles in your garden, such as shrubs, trees, flower beds or water features. Then, a second wire in the centre of your lawn helps the iMOW® to travel home to charge. If the iMOW® comes across objects in the mowing area then it’s sensors will activate, causing it to slow down, softly bump into it and then go off into another direction. You can install you iMOW® yourself via the MY iMOW® app, which provides guided instructions on how to complete the install. You can also follow our playlist on how to install the iMOW® too! If installing this way, you will need the appropriate installation kit (sold separately) for your garden size in order to install the iMOW®. For complex gardens with multiple mowing plans, you can request for your local STIHL Approved Dealer to install the iMOW®. To do so, please get in touch with your local STIHL Approved Dealer directly.

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. The iMOW® is 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. Plus you have the added bonus of not having to empty a grass catcher box again! Because the iMOW® cuts the grass little and often, the clippings decompose quickly – leaving no trace of them, apart from a well-nourished, lush, green lawn.

You can build a dynamic mowing plan for your iMOW® which is tailored to your needs and program it to mow at a time that is convenient for you. However, if you do want to send the iMOW® out to mow when you are relaxing in your garden then you can – it’s so quiet that you wouldn’t even notice it when it’s out mowing! Rain sensors on the iMOW® detect when it rains so you can choose whether to let the iMOW® continue to work in the rain or make up the mowing time when it dries up. Thanks to the intuitive software of the iMOW®, you don’t have to worry about charging it either – when the iMOW® finishes it’s mowing plan it finds its way back to it’s weather-proof docking station and charges itself efficiently, ready for the next time it goes out to cut.

If you want to check the status of the iMOW® or can’t access the MY iMOW® app, you can press the info button on the control panel at the top of the iMOW® which will talk to you and tell you when the next mowing session is. Using these buttons you can send the iMOW® home, out to mow or lock the mower without going onto the app.

Please be aware that the iMOW® robotic mower is not a toy. Children and small animals must be kept away from the mowing area when it is out to mow. You must also make sure the mowing area is clear of small objects such as footballs and toys. For further safety information, please read the instruction manual.

The iMOW® will receive security updates for at least 24 months after purchase.

Features

The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

DISC-CUT SYSTEM

OPTIMUM MOWING RESULT. High rotational speed and 3 free-swinging, extra-sharp blades provide a cleanly cut lawn every time. The direction of rotation is automatically alternated on a regular basis, extending the life of the blades.

ELECTRIC CUT-HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

THE APP MAKES IT EASY. You can adjust the cutting height of your robotic lawnmower directly via the app.

TOOL-FREE BLADE CHANGE (iMOW)

QUICK AND EASY CHANGEOVER. No tools are required for changing the blades of the iMOW, so it’s easy to replace blades when necessary. For an even cut, we recommend changing all three blades at once when replacing a blunt or damaged blade.

CONNECTIVITY (iMOW)

OPTIMAL CONTROL. Connectivity functions mean you can control your robotic mower via the app, using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® connections. On EVO models, you can also connect the app to the robotic mower via a mobile network.

MOBILE ACCESS VIA MY iMOW® APP

MOW THE LAWN VIA REMOTE CONTROL. You can check the status and current tasks of the iMOW from anywhere via the MY iMOW® app. App capabilities include creating an interactive mowing plan, viewing the current location of your iMOW, and setting your mowing zones. You can also change other settings in the app, such as the cutting height.

ZONE MANAGEMENT

PRECISE WORK. If your garden has complex, awkwardly shaped areas or lots of close-together obstacles you can simplify the mowing plan of the iMOW by defining starting points and specifying preferred mowing zones. This makes work more efficient and faster.

ALARM FUNCTION

EXTENDED PROTECTION. If the iMOW is lifted up, or if the tilt or movement of the power tool changes in an unusual way (carrying detection), an alarm will be triggered. This switches off automatically when the robot mower is set down again. In addition, the robot automatically locks its control functions if it is removed from the home area.

RAIN SENSOR

MOW ON A WEATHER-DEPENDENT BASIS. Thanks to its rain sensor, your iMOW® robotic mower is able to decide whether or not to mow based on the weather. In the settings, you can decide how the robotic lawn mower reacts to rain.

iMOW CONTROLS

INTUITIVE OPERATION. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a control panel that consists of push buttons and the rear LED strip. It controls all important robotic commands on the robotic mower. On iMOW EVO models, an LED front strip also provides information about the status of the machine and ensures better recognition of the robot thanks to a daytime running light.

PIN CODE

PROTECTION AGAINST UNAUTHORISED USE. The PIN code on the iMOW® prevents unauthorised people from operating the mower. It consists of a key combination that you define in the MY iMOW® app. This means that only authorised people can control the iMOW® from the control panel after entering the PIN code.
