Works great, convenient to keep in my desk, easy to use and accurate!

Works well

Great alternative to a ovi. Can be a little tricky to blow but when you get the blowing strength down it is easy

The batteries seem to run out almost instantly. We've used all kinds of different batteries and none of them last more than the day. We started removing them in between uses and still it won't work. We also have concerns people are testing negative when they are in fact positive. its been very frustrating.

I tested it, the product seemed to meet expectations .

Bought this product to keep track of my BAC levels when drinking and also to see how accurate it was out of curiosity. It's very easy to put together and comes with a nice assortment of tips to use to gauge your BAC levels. As one other customer review excellently pointed out the manual that comes with it describes some things well such as what the BAC level means and overviews what the outside buttons do. However, it does poorly mention how you have to blow into the device for more than 11 seconds and wait for it to click in order for it to display your results. If you stop too soon, then you won't get a reading at all and it makes you seem like it's defective but it's not. You just need to blow into it longer than 11 seconds and wait for the feeling it gives you in your hand. It will feel like the device has just clicked or activated then you'll get your test results. I've tried it quite a few times and the readouts are pretty accurate based on how intoxicated I was. I do recommend this product it's a solid purchase and works well, but I just wish the manufacturer did a better job of explaining its operation.

I was looking for something to give my wife piece of mind when we were out with friends, or when I'm out on the motorcycle. I read many of the reviews for the other breathalyzers and decided to stick with a fuel cell model. I was a bit surprised to read about the units not being accurate, with one reviewer claiming to compare it to an official law enforcement unit. I find that rather funny. These units measure blood alcohol based upon the amount of alcohol on your breath, which is affected by many factors. Even the PBT given by law enforcement (the unit used by patrol cars) is prone to error. The only truly accurate measurement of blood alcohol is an actual blood test, period. All of that being said, I tested this unit right out of the box, and had a reading of "0.00", which is what I expected as I hadn't been drinking. I then drank six ounces of wine (in less than five minutes), drank a glass of water, then waited 20 minutes to do the next test. This time the reading was "0.02", which is about where it should have been based upon the "standard" factors. Although I have yet to use it for any "normal" circumstance, I am confident that this unit will provide as accurate a reading as a standard PBT. That being said, whether I drive will be only partially based upon that reading. If I feel fine, yet have a reading of "0.08", then I won't be driving. If I have a reading of less than "0.08", but don't feel I'm capable of driving, I won't drive. Common sense still has to rule. This unit is a valuable tool to help give an idea of what BAC may be, but it is only one part of making the right choice. If you're going to have more than a drink or two, a designated driver may be the right choice anytime.

Nice device

This this is very accurate, I have an ignition interlock due to a previous DUI but this has helped me understand my impairment levels and avoid repeating the offence and also knowing when it's safe to blow into my ignition interlock. It's a good thing to also know how each drink affects you and how quickly your body can eliminate alcohol. Money well spent

Provato in un paio di situazioni su più persone, i valori sono molto realistici e la pila di combustione molto meglio del sensore a silicio, non cambia con le condizioni esterne. Per adesso sono contento, aggiornerò il feedback se qualcosa dovesse cambiare.

Used as a backup in the car to check I'm under before driving. Very handy and easy to use.

If you drink? It's a great little advice before you make the mistake of thinking about one more and the morning after.

Good daily tester
