SAKURA EE-3000 SumoGrip Electric Eraser Electric Eraser, Plastic Steel, Black, x41Ene x420x430x441k

I’ve recently rediscovered my interest in drawing and,(i having browsed around YouTube to get some inspiration, I was initially amused to find someone recommending using an electric eraser. I dismissed the idea as technology for technology's sake. However I bought a cheap version on a whim at Christmas last year and my cynicism was totally justified! Mostly because the motor on the cheap unit would grind to a halt with the application of any pressure sufficient to actually erase anything. HOWEVER! Watching another YouTube video recently where the artist was using this unit and clearly finding it really useful, I made one of those fateful 2 a.m. purchases and promptly forgot about it until it arrived several days later. I'm amazed. Clearly the extra money has gone into build quality and motor power. I now use the fine tipped eraser like another pencil. Works beautifully on pencils both coloured and pain and I've just ordered a second one to be sure I always have one with me!!!!

I had seen this product on an artist's YouTube videos & it has excellent reviews. Although I already have a Derwent rechargeable eraser, I decided to take the plunge & order the EE-3000. It is expensive & it did have to come from the US, but I am very satisfied with the product. It's supplied with batteries, which are easy to install & is lightweight & comfortable to hold. I use it to create highlights & it performs well removing pigment from Luminance pencils on smooth board. My one minor criticism would be that the power button has to be held down during use (the Derwent can be locked to the On position). For overall performance, I would rate the EE-3000 above the Derwent.

As far as I'm concerned, this is absolutely worth the money. I paid £38 including import duty for mine and it's not a pound I regret. If you just want an electric eraser for simple jobs, this won't do anything the £5 models don't. If however you need one for serious graphic work, the precision, control and power of this will be a noticeable cut above the rest, and you'll find you can achieve effects you wouldn't even consider attempting with the cheaper models.

I used these for many year making artwork and gives excellent results and precision

I read up on this eraser and one artist was raving about it in his video. After that, nothing else would do, despite its price. However … I am underwhelmed. Yes, it works well, is good quality and sturdy and I like the placement of the switch at the top, but I think the far cheaper AFMAT someone let me try was just as good

Great eraser. So precise when drawing hyper realistic portraits. No other eraser I have used has been this good
