Stihl iMow Now Available!

Posted on by Chris Garlick

Garlick Garden Machinery proudly welcome 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 5000 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 STIHL iMow robotic lawn mower offers several benefits for homeowners in the UK. Here are some of the main advantages:

1. Time-Saving and Convenience

  • The STIHL iMow works autonomously, allowing you to set it up and leave it to mow your lawn without any manual intervention. This is especially useful for people with busy schedules or those who don’t enjoy spending time mowing the lawn.
  • It can be programmed to operate on a regular schedule, so the lawn is maintained with minimal effort.

2. Efficient Mowing

  • The iMow is designed to cut grass efficiently by using advanced algorithms to navigate and mow your lawn. It can handle complex garden shapes, navigate around obstacles, and mow under bushes or around trees.
  • It can mow different grass types and heights, providing a consistently neat and tidy appearance for your lawn.

3. Low Maintenance

  • The iMow is designed to require minimal maintenance. It is self-cleaning and has a weatherproof build, so you don’t need to worry much about upkeep.
  • It has a high-quality, sharp blade that stays in good condition for long periods. If needed, replacement is simple.

4. Environmentally Friendly

  • The iMow is electric-powered, which means it produces zero emissions compared to gas-powered lawnmowers. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice, aligning with the growing trend of sustainability.
  • It also uses less energy, which helps reduce overall power consumption.

5. Noise Reduction

  • Robotic mowers are much quieter than traditional lawnmowers, meaning less noise pollution, which can be especially important in residential areas where noise regulations exist.
  • The quiet operation allows the iMow to mow during early mornings or late evenings without disturbing neighbors.

6. Smart Features and Control

  • Many STIHL iMow models come with a smartphone app that allows you to monitor and control the mower remotely. You can start, stop, and change mowing schedules from anywhere.
  • Some models include weather sensors that help the mower avoid mowing during rain, ensuring better results and protecting your lawn.

7. Improved Lawn Health

  • By mowing regularly, the iMow encourages healthy grass growth, as it consistently trims the grass to an ideal height.
  • The frequent cutting also helps to mulch the grass clippings, which can provide additional nutrients to the soil.

8. Adaptability to UK Weather

  • The iMow can handle typical UK weather conditions, including the occasional wet weather and variable temperatures. It is designed to mow in light rain and can easily cope with the often unpredictable climate in the UK.

9. Security Features

  • The iMow includes security features like an alarm that triggers if it is lifted or moved. Additionally, some models have GPS tracking, which makes it easier to locate the mower in case of theft.

10. Cost Savings Over Time

  • Although the initial investment might seem high, the reduced costs for fuel, maintenance, and potentially even lawn care services (if you would have otherwise hired a gardener) can offset the price in the long run.

In summary, the STIHL iMow offers a combination of convenience, efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making it an excellent choice for UK homeowners looking to maintain their lawns with minimal effort. It fits well with the busy lifestyle and is particularly beneficial in urban and suburban settings where noise and space are concerns.

We have spent a period of time over Winter familiarising ourselves with these iMow’s as well as one of our Robotic Mowing Engineers, Jason, completing Stihl’s iMow training course for diagnostics and repairs. As always we are able to offer a full installation and aftercare service to all our customers so if you are interested please do get in touch and we can discuss your requirments further.
