Electric Eraser for Artists, AFMAT Rechargeable Electric Eraser Kit,140 Refills for Drafting, Electric Pencil Eraser - Battery Operated for Drawing Pencils, Crafts, Arts

My experience with off-brand Chinese made products have been hit and miss... more miss than hit. However, I have to say this eraser completely exceeded my expectations. In fact, it was so good, I bought a 2nd one for my son.Originally, I was going to buy a Sakura electric eraser for about $40 as that seems to be the name brand one that many artists use. But, due to the great reviews on Amazon and the fact that this AFMAT eraser comes with two size tips and a massive number of refills, and the awesome price, I decided to give it a try.Thankfully, the eraser works flawlessly in every way. It erases cleanly. It is very easy to handle and, as long as you don't have the rubber nib too far out, you can erase precisely with the larger tip of the smaller one. In fact, it is very easy to draw with the smaller tip if you want to add highlights or draw strands of white hair by selectively erasing dark penciled areas.The eraser holds a charge for a long time and I have never had to recharge it in the middle of extended drawing sessions. The body is rather large, and the trigger is definitely sensitive. However, I got use to both aspects very quickly. With that said, I can see how if you threw this into your backpack, it may engage the trigger and drain the battery depending on how the eraser sits in your bag.The refills they give you with the eraser is great. There are SO many compared to what Sakura gives you and the quality of the eraser nibs are very good too. They don't tear the paper and just cleanly erases what you want without fuss or issues. It's also very easy to change the eraser tips and to readjust the tip as the eraser gets worn down.I bought my first one for $14.66 and the 2nd one less than a month later for $15.48. That's a freaking bargain for what you get. In fact, I'm about to buy the black version so that I can have one with the larger nib and one with the smaller nib so I don't have to switch them around. That would still cost $10 LESS than the single Sakura eraser and give me literally hundreds of eraser refills that will last for at least a couple of years.

Now, this eraser is just a delight.I'm a newly introduced college student for the arts and I always have to draw illustrations for class. But frankly, this eraser? I have never seen a more easy-to-use eraser that not only gets the job done but gets it done so much better than any other thing I've used.I've been an artist my entire life and I have daily wrist pain, so being able to use something that works by itself (I just have to hold it to the paper) helps my wrist so much, it's so bloody impressive. It removes pencil marks so much better than a normal eraser, too!I even had it in a bag - Which, my main gripe with this electric eraser is that the button may be a bit too easy to press because when it's in a bad or a pencil case, it will absolutely just start going off by itself, so that may need to be considered - and when it went off the entire time, it still has charge.The button is actually very fantastic, despite my gripe. While it is *very* easy to press, which makes it bad for bags or anything like a pencil case, it is insanely useful for when you're working because you don't have to hurt your hand whatsoever by holding it down with force. It's just a very simple little press and it spurs to life very easily. Again, really nice to my wrist and fingers.So not only is it built to be comfortable and forgiving to people like me with bad wrists, but it gets its job done insanely well - I'm frankly upset at myself for not owning this sooner. And the refills are insanely generous too for the price!PLEASE get this if you are an artist. You will *not* regret it.

- Charging lifetime is great- Erasers are very good- Charging is fast- It works efficiently and it's functional- It can sometimes have a plastic smell like it's rubbing against itself so it kinda smells burnt sometimes but I have not have had any fires or anything crazy come from it and after not using it for excessive time periods nonstop running while I move around with it it hasn't had the smell so I don't suggest running it nonstop.- It is durable.- Sounds like a tattoo machine.- Easy to control and use- Doesn't really smudge- It is great to store and storage capacity things.- Erasers fit very well- Erasers are soft and efficient.

2nd edit: I was amazed to receive a replacement for this from customer service because they had stopped working! This one is working fine, so I've upgraded my rating.1st Edit: Within a short period of time both of these stopped working. I certainly cannot recommend this product.I'm an entry level pencil drawing student, so I use an eraser a whole heck of a lot. This is a good electric eraser and it comes with lots and lots of replacement cores as well as a small brush. The erasers are extremely easy to change. It does a very good job for things like highlights, removing stray lines, making whiskers and so on. Charge lasts a long time.It can be difficult to see exactly where it is going to erase, so you need to pay attention. The eraser shape changes as it's used, so you may have to run it on blank paper to reshape it either flat or pointed.I bought one and somehow lost it, so I ordered another. The day after it arrived I found the first in my box of dog equipment where I'd tossed it thinking it was the nail trimmer. Oh well. Being as affordable as it is, I kept the second and now have one set up with the small eraser and one with the larger.There is the one major problem that others have talked about. The raised button is constantly being bumped and spins. It should be level with the body of the eraser. Other than that, I love it.
