I would not complement S5 that much. Mine can never return to the dock alone, which is pretty basic - it knows where it is, but tries to move there from a weird angle, repeats this few times and ultimately loudly fails. Also, it always gets stuck on dryer rack.

The engineering on the modularity is neat though, I agree.

Hm, that's strange - i've even used mine in 2 apartments now, on 4 floors no less..

No issues whatsoever - on the floor where there is no dock it just goes back to the point you dropped it off and started cleaning...

Have you tried to put some magnetic tape (barrier) on to the legs?
