What 75 SFAIH listings actually rate, what the range does well, and where it falls short of the brands it competes with.
Yes, for what they cost — with one significant catch. Across 75 SFAIH listings the average Amazon rating is 4.47 stars. That is a solid, unexciting number: good enough that most buyers are happy, low enough that SFAIH is not competing with Copic.
The catch is not quality, it is support. SFAIH sells no refill ink, no replacement nibs and no single markers, so a set is a consumable rather than a system. That is covered in full here.
| Range | Listings | Average rating | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol markers | 24 | 4.5 | 4.4 – 4.6 |
| Acrylic paint markers & pens | 27 | 4.43 | 3.4 – 5.0 |
| Permanent markers | 12 | 4.63 | 4.5 – 4.7 |
| Liquid chalk markers | 8 | 4.34 | 3.8 – 4.5 |
| Dry erase markers | 4 | 4.42 | 4.3 – 4.5 |
Read from SFAIH's live Amazon listings in September 2026. Amazon pools ratings across the variations of a parent listing, so several SFAIH sets share a rating count — the counts describe a product family rather than one set. Ratings move; treat these as a snapshot.
Two things separate SFAIH from Ohuhu and Caliart, and only one of them is about the markers.
SFAIH's alcohol markers average 4.4–4.6 stars. Ohuhu's sit at 4.7–4.8 and Caliart's at 4.5–4.7. It is a real gap but a narrow one, and it is not the difference between a good product and a bad one.
This is the bigger difference. SFAIH's most-reviewed alcohol marker set carries 713 ratings. Caliart's 41-colour set carries over 13,000, and Ohuhu's 72-colour set over 4,000. SFAIH is a newer, smaller brand, so there is simply less evidence behind it either way.
Included because a review page that only shows the good numbers is not a review.

| You are… | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Trying alcohol markers for the first time | Buy | The cheapest way to find out whether you like the medium, without a small-set compromise on colour range. |
| Buying a gift for someone crafty | Buy | The case and printed colour cards make the large sets present far better than the price suggests. |
| Colouring regularly as a hobby | Probably | Fine, as long as you accept that heavily-used colours will eventually need a second set. |
| Drawing professionally or daily | Look elsewhere | Nothing is replaceable. A refillable system costs more upfront and less over three years. |
| Buying for a child | Yes, but pick the tips | Choose chisel + fine. A splayed brush nib is permanent on this brand. |
121 colours, Brush + Chisel, 4.6 stars from 713 ratings — the SFAIH alcohol marker set with the most public feedback behind it.
A brand-level verdict is nearly always the wrong unit. Across SFAIH's 75 listings the scores run from the bottom of the 3s to the high 4s, and that spread — not the average — is the thing to act on. Buying well inside a range like this gets you something people rate highly; buying carelessly gets you the listing at the other end of the same distribution, from the same brand, on the same page.
On the evidence in the catalogue, the sets that hold up are SFAIH Black Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…, SFAIH Green Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…, SFAIH Red Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…. The ones that do not are SFAIH White Liquid Chalk Markers for…, SFAIH Liquid Chalk Markers for Blackboard…, SFAIH Chrome Silver Paint Markers Pens with…. Both groups have enough ratings behind them to be worth something.
Three rules that follow from the data rather than from taste. Sort by rating count, not by score — the most-reviewed listing in a range is usually the one the brand has actually got right, because it is the one that survived contact with the most customers. Treat variations as one product: where several sizes share a score and a count they are one listing, and buying the larger one is a size decision, not a quality one. Check availability before you fall for something — ranges like this churn, and the set you want may not be orderable by the time you decide.
Everything on this page is read off SFAIH's own Amazon listings rather than from a press release or a review round-up. That catalogue is 75 listings, 75 of them carrying a star rating, 40,639 ratings between them. The average sits at 4.5, with 62 listings at 4.4 or better.
An average across a whole brand is a weak number, though, and it is worth saying why. Amazon pools ratings across the variations of one parent listing, so a set sold in five sizes can show the same score five times; and a 5.0 from six ratings sits in the same average as a 4.4 from three thousand. That is why the table below is sortable by rating count as well as by score — sorted that way it shows what people have actually bought, which is a far better guide than the score alone.
The strongest listings in the range by score, among those with enough ratings to mean anything, are SFAIH Black Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…, SFAIH Green Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…, SFAIH Red Permanent Markers Bulk, 24 Pack…. The weakest on the same basis are SFAIH White Liquid Chalk Markers for…, SFAIH Liquid Chalk Markers for Blackboard…, SFAIH Chrome Silver Paint Markers Pens with…. The most-reviewed are SFAIH Acrylic White Paint Pens - 8 Pack…, SFAIH Gold Acrylic Paint Pens - 8 Pack…, SFAIH Acrylic Red Paint Pens - 8 Pack 2-3MM… — and those are the ones whose scores you can lean on.
