I am a math teacher who uses white board markers everyday. I always used Expo markers in the past. They work well, but leave "ghosts" on the board. Some Expo markers are also very smelly. This year, I ordered Crayola instead. I have NEVER needed to use my whiteboard cleaner to remove the "ghosts" left by Crayola markers. They have virtually no smell. The only downside is that they don't seem to last as long as the Expos that I used in the past.

As a teacher, these are the best dry erase markers I've found. The colors are dark, the markers last a long time, and they're easy to erase. As for the complaints saying they don't erase easily, try baby wipes. These markers are so much better than Expo.

These markers are tough and durable. They remain moist even if left without their caps for a few hours. One word of caution: they don;t fit in the slots on the crayola kids activity board. Not a big deal, but I probably should have searched harder for the thinner ones that do fit. I liked these colors though, and the chisel tip is fun to draw with.

I bought these wipe erase markers because my son got an easel with a wipe erase board and I thought the Crayola name meant an easy clean up. I was wrong! Many of the hues.. red, orange and purple to name a few.. left traces on the board that took serious elbow grease and wipe erase cleaning fluid to remove. Luckily he never got it on his clothes as I expect that would have been a nightmare! We replaced this set with the large Expo set which not only cleans up better, but has a lot more colors.

I teach fifth grade. I purchased these to brighten up the white board. I want the marker to be low-odor and have bright, bold color. Out of the package, the markers lacked bold color. It was as though they had been used for a month. I will not purchase these again--I'll go back to Expo. They are low-odor.

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and the dry erase board gets used every day in our practice. These markers are the best in terms of brightness, washability and longevity! I searched high and low to find them in stores, but alas had to come to Amazon - I bought 6 packages!

The markers did write well. Great for my 3 year old learning to write. However, even though they are supposed to be low odor they smell worse than the no name black markers that came with the dry erase boards we purchased. In addition, the black marker, which was only used once, dried out after only a few days. We will be trying the Crayola dry erase crayons next.

I bought these dry erase markers for my 2 year old daughter. They work great however they are hard to get out of clothing. I specifically bought Crayola because all their products are suppose to be washable, however I still cannot get it off of some of her clothes.

Overall I love this product and that's why I gave it 5 stars but I did have a few pros and cons
Pros
- Was very happy that these washed off my daughters hands (and face) easily with either soap and water or just a baby wipe
- Caps were easy for her to take on and off
- Low Odor
- Doesn't dry out
- Erases very easily from the white board

Cons
- The lighter colors (Yellow, Orange) tend to pick up the other colors when used at once (What 3 year old doesn't go nuts with coloring all over the place...they will take a yellow marker and draw right over the blue or black colors).
- The markers don't come off of non-dry erase surfaces very easily

I bought these markers for the easel my children got for christmas!!! These were the suggested markers to buy from the instruction manual that came with the easel. My boys are having a great time with them. I am teaching my oldest son to write his name and his alphabet using these markers on the easel. They are just the write size for him, he still doesn't have the best hand coordination when it comes to thin pencils and pens. I greatly recommend these to anyone looking for some dry erase markers.
