Saw it in the store and picked one up cheaply enough. Figured I'd play with it and see if it was any good. That was until I read the label. "Not recommended for the following surfaces: High Gloss, Polished, Dark, Brushed, Satin, Faux, Bare/Polished Wood, or Stainless Steel... Do not use... on vehicle body, or post-factory tinted glass."
Anyone successfully use this thing on any surface without destroying anything?
It IS abrasive.I have used it (with care) on flat painted walls to remove scuffs. Also on stair risers (satin paint) as well.
Yes, and "Magic" is a perfect name for what it does. It is VERY slightly abrasive. Don't be so alarmed by the label. I wouldn't use it on a Steinway Piano, but I use it on countertops, bathroom surfaces, glass, and even my sailboat. There are very few things I'd hesitate to use it on. All it is, is a block of polyurethane foam. No added soaps, chemicals or anything. Just foam. With a little windshield washer fluid, it takes road film off my windshield like nothing else!

Wife loves them, she hasn't wrecked anything yet.
Used them when I moved into my new old house. They did an incredible job of removing built-up hard water soap scum from high gloss tile where all else had failed - and I've seen no damage.
Sure, tiles, shower doors, bathtubs and more.
However, it *is* an abrasive and will scratch (albeit minutely) a polished surface. Use it selectively and with care.
I've also used automotive rubbing compound on my car from time to time to remove a small mark or scratch. But I certainly wouldn't wipe the whole vehicle down with the stuff every week. That would soon wreck a paint job. Use Magic Eraser in much the same way.
It did an especially good job of removing some stubborn marks and stains from the anti-slip finish on the base of my bathtub.
We should be grateful they say what you can't use it on. A few years ago, they would not have done so, or would not have done so carefully.
have you ever looked at the stickers that say "My name is ________. What's yours" for use at conventions and parties? They have a long list of fabrics they damage, mostly special fabrics, like your list above contains special surfaces. Hmmm. I find it suprising that it would damage stainless steel, but they know the stuff better than I do.
walls, floor, etc. The thing that gets distroy is the eraser. It sheds as it rubs up against stuff, carrying away the the dirt.
It works for me.

Gloss, Polished, Dark,
Magic Eraser is the only thing I have ever found that cleans those textured refrigerator door handles that get all smudged up from dirty hands. I buy them for that reason, but found they clean marks on a ceramic tile counter too. We have a side by side refrig. and those white handles are often gray looking. Magic Eraser cleans them perfectly. Nothing else worked for me. You can get quite a few uses out of one of them, and they come 2 to a package. Get the "original" ones, not the ones with a sponge on one side. Watch for them on sale sometimes too.
