Stihl iMow 5 EVO Robotic Mower

The iMOW® 5 EVO 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 45%, 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 iMOW® EVO has a mobile connection which means you can connect to it via the MY iMOW® app at any time and send it out to mow even if you aren’t at home. It can also connect to the MY iMOW® app via a home WiFi network or Bluetooth connection when close to the machine as well.

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.

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. The iMOW® EVO also has an LED matrix display at the top of the iMOW which shows the current status, such as spinning blade when mowing or a padlock when locked in the dock.

Disc Cut System High rotational speed and 3 free-swinging, extra-sharp blades provide a cleanly cut lawn every time. The direction of rotation is automatically alernated 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) No tools are required for changing the blades of the iMOW, so it's easy to replace the blades when necessary. 

Connectivity (iMOW) 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 on the robotic mower via a mobile network. 

Alarm Function If the iMOW is lifted up or if the tilt or movement of the power tool changes in an unusual way (carrying detection), and 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 frrom the home area. 

Rain Sensor 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 mower reacts to rain. 

Zone Management 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. 

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 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.
