Our verdict
The bottom line
Stihl arrived late to robotics but the iMOW 6 is genuinely competitive with the Husqvarna 410 NERA. Worth considering if you already trust Stihl petrol kit and have a Stihl dealer nearby.

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£1300–1900 used (rare on Marketplace yet — most are still under warranty). RTK reference station must be included. Verify dealer warranty transfer — Stihl handles this cleanly via chassis number. Reset the iMOW Cloud account before purchase.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
