Sakura EE-3000 SumoGrip Electric Eraser Kit, Cordless, Black

I have one of these my artist friend threaten to steal it - So I bought him one. Great for hair lines and whiskers on graphite and charcoal. I use it with a sandpaper board to keep the edge white and sharp. great for getting into tight places that a kneaded eraser can't do. It has help up well, not junk good quality tool, comfortable in your hand not heavy, very strong and durable. Battery life is surprisingly good, functions like a charm - I use it all the time: 5-stars

Works so well! Better than I’ve borrowed in my art class. It’s the lightness touch so the paper isn’t getting worn down like typical eraser. Easy to use.

Works beautifully. Easy to hold & maneuver. Very well packaged too.

After reading a lot of reviews of various brands of electric erasers, the Sumo gets the best opinions--and after quickly setting it up (put eraser in holder, insert in end, put in 2 AAA batteries--included) I was off erasing colored pencil with no trouble at all. It seems rather "wussy" to use an electric eraser but it's specifically for charcoal, pencil and pastel--any erasable medium. The eraser is precise and removes most or all of the color depending on your medium. You can "draw" with it over a field of laid-down medium. Or remove mistakes very precisely.

It is easy to use. However, it seems that the battery life is not that great. When the batteries are replaced. It works perfectly, but after a week it seems that the batteries need to be replaced again. Would I purchase this again? Probably not, honestly.

Just as expected, well done.

Of all the small battery erasers, this is the best (and most expensive). But it’s worth it. I paint small to medium sized paintings by airbrush and brush in acrylic, and the Sakura is the best. It works well for picking out highlights and when I’m painting a foreground to resemble gravel or stones, it allows me to create layers of color that vary in multiple hues and values. I just wish Sakura still made the blue eraser heads that work so well for erasing acrylic.

I was shocked when I saw it take computer ink off of paper. Thick bold letters of computer ink on header titles turned very light . This is meant for dark sketches like pencil and charcoal shading . Says it’s good for graphite too. It doesn’t wobble like the ohuhu knock off . Everything is tight and firm . I was first skeptical of the button because I heard no click before inserting the batteries , but soon found out that the button is perfect and you can’t accidentally press it by resting your finger on it . It’s very powerful and was recommended by ZHC YouTube artist . His looks a little different due to the model he got but it’s by Sakura so it’s the same company. I love this eraser . Only complaint is that it says 20 refills and 2 eraser holders but in actuality ... the 20 erasers counts as 19 refills for first time users . The 2 eraser holders makes you think one is already in the eraser but no so you have to use one of them making it 1 holder refill . Other than that it’s perfect so you should definitely buy it !

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 to go through a LOT of youtube videos to find a good electric eraser, before I realized what kind of quality I could expect from Sumogrip. This thing is expensive to be sure. But it is easy to use, and it erases in a way that is far cleaner and less worrisome than rubbing with a normal eraser, or even a "gummy" one. I don't need to worry about accidentally creasing my paper with this! If I had to give any feedback, it would be that I wish the form of the machine was a little thinner, less bulky. But considering that it takes Two AAA batteries, that's probably asking too much. Definitely recommend this.

Advertencia: Mucho texto incoming pero menciono todo lo que necesitas saber acerca de esta goma eléctrica. Simplemente la mejor goma eléctrica que hay en la actualidad. Esta es la marca de goma eléctrica que utiliza el maestro Hajime Sorayama para crear efectos reflejantes en sus iconicas ilustraciones de robots y pinups ya que tiene un torque lo suficientemente potente que es capaz de borrar pintura acrílica! Yo lo probé y funciono sin problemas y creo que en la actualidad no hay ninguna otra goma eléctrica que sea capaz de borrar pintura acrílica con tanta facilidad y control. Desde luego, Sorayama utiliza un modelo antiguo el cual aún se requiere conectar a la corriente eléctrica para funcionar. Esta goma eléctrica sin embargo, se podría decir que es la versión moderna de la que él utiliza, ya que este tiene un diseño más ergonómico y compacto, pero en funcionalidad y calidad sigue siendo igual al que utiliza Sorayama gracias a su potente motor que no se detiene por más fuerza que apliques en la superficie a comparación de otras marcas que a pesar de que son más económicas, a la más mínima presión que ejerzas sobre ellas , la goma deja de girar, por lo tanto, esta goma eléctrica es la más apta para trabajos profesionales o de uso "rudo" Llevo un par de semanas utilizándolo para un comic que eh estado dibujando y es ahora ya mi herramienta favorita de dibujo debido a lo fácil y cómodo que es usarlo, además de preciso, ya que es capaz de borrar detalles minúsculos gracias a su calidad y precisión de su motor el cual hace que el área de la goma no vibre en lo absoluto a la hora de girar a comparación de otras gomas eléctricas las cuales tienden a vibrar mucho en el área de la punta al momento de girar, ocasionando impresiciones a la hora de borrar el área deseada, por lo tanto, no es necesario que la goma sea más delgada para borrar detalles pequeñitos ya que esta goma es capaz de hacerlo. En cuanto a la duración de las gomas, llevo dos semanas utilizándolo todos los días y aún no me termino la primera que le coloque el día que lo recibí y eso que si la eh utilizado muy frecuentemente todos los días por lo tanto en ese aspecto creo que esta súper bien ya que viene con 20 gomas adicionales, además de que Amazon Mexico también vende los repuestos el cual contiene 60 piezas, entonces todo súper bien en este apartado. El único detalle que le pongo es respecto a la batería y por lo cual lo califico con 4.7 estrellas, ya que a pesar de que viene con dos pilas AAA de regalo, estas no duraron ni un par de semanas, lo cual me hace pensar que esta goma come baterías de a montón, espero que no sea así y que solo haya sido debido a la marca de las baterías, ahorita ya le puse un par de baterías de buena calidad esperando que esta vez dure más de dos semanas antes de que comience a debilitarse el motor, señal de que ya es momento de cambiárselas. Aún con ese detalle encima, yo simplemente adoro esta goma eléctrica. Es capaz de borrar, grafito de cualquier tipo, lápiz de color, capas de pintura acrílica y hasta capas de fijativo en spray sin problemas. Recomendado al 100%

È uno strumento indispensabile per ottenere risultati perfetti

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.
