[...] The eraser as advertised shuts off after about 5 minutes of use. This is not convienent when erasing multiple tapes. It does however erase the tapes well when the clearly stated directions are followed.

Comments about TecNec 2300 Gauss Handheld Audio and Video Media Eraser:
I use this product to erase mini hdv tapes. It seems to do the trick but after a lot of time holding it close to tape - much more than the directions indicate.. It's heavy and hard to hold for doing more than a few tapes at a time. But it does eventually erase the tapes which is what it is suppose to do. Would prefer that it erased tapes in the 1 minute indicated in the directions.

Comments about TecNec 2300 Gauss Handheld Audio and Video Media Eraser:
It does the job, but tape has to be erased 4-5 times. In the process the eraser shots down and you have to wait half an hour for the next cycle. If you have only a few tapes it's ok, but if you have more, I would not recommend it.
