Do Magnavore magnets float?

Looking order one later today because of its extended reach feature but can't find anywhere where it states it floats. If is doesn't will get large mag float with easy blade attachment.

The model 6 ER and 4 ER both float, the inside pieces.
I don't know about the others.

Mine doesn't. I have the 4ER. Mine never separate though, either.

The guy from Magnavore told me they can't make theirs float due to patent issues.

You can add a foam strip (supplied with the magnet) to the inside magnet to make it float.

I have a 2er that came with a foam sticker to attach to the magnet. With the foam sticker it floats without it sinks.

Thanks for the responses, it look like a stronger magnet than mag float but i was looking a bigger magnet that would float and add that easy blade scraper to it.
