Element Breathalyzer | Police-Grade | DOT & NHTSA Compliant | Portable BAC Alcohol Tester for Personal & Professional Use | 5 Mouthpieces Included

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

Okay, it does work! You just have to give it time to reset. The product worked one time. The lines move on the screen to indicate airflow. The lines stopped moving on the second use. Batteries were changed, so that was not the issue because it would still turn on. The product is just defective. For the price of the device, I thought it would work for more than one day. I plan to return and request a refund.

UPDATE: Hours later, I've added a picture of this crazy device telling me my BAC is nearly 0.32% out of the blue without additional alcohol consumption or any noticable symptoms of intoxication. If this were accurate, not only would I not be typing a cogent review free of spelling and grammatical errors right now, I would almost certainly be passed out or fully deceased. I'm pretty sure this unit has been fully debunked beyond all belief at this point (and it also gave me yet another reading under the legal limit to drive within five minutes of this one). DO NOT BUY THIS THING! I had some whiskey in an adult sippy cup with a straw (like a Robek's cup but by a different manufacturer). This was equivalent to around 2-3 drinks, somewhere between half an hour ago and an hour ago. I took three successive readings within the last ten minutes, and the three readings were taken sequentially by pressing the power button after a rest period of around 30 seconds each time (as this is the time period when the device shows the previous reading and prepares to reset). Each time, another countdown provides an additional wait period of around 20 seconds before you can blow into the BAC reader again. I paid a much higher premium for this particular device because it was supposed to have, as it says in the title, "professional-grade accuracy". However, this is the third occasion in the last 2 weeks where the readings I got in a five to ten minute period were both wildly inaccurate, and so inconsistent that it borders on totally random number generation. Tonight, my three readings occurred within a five minute period, and came in at 0.08%, 0.10%, and 0.20%. This is an enormous range and not something you can trust if you are trying to wait for an appropriate level of sobriety before driving. Thankfully, all of my tests happened in the safety of my own home. In most states, 0.08% is the legal limit, so a reading at this level would technically be legal to drive at. By the standard of most charts you can find about BAC, as well as the papers that came with the device, 0.20% is essentially "blackout drunk" and where you can expect to have serious impairment, slurred speech, potentially "the spins" where your sense of the world around you is nauseatingly spinning, motor skill incapacities and other highly negative effects. On all three nights I tested this device, it was completely inconsistent and objectively inaccurate. On none of these occasions did I feel, speak or act impaired at anywhere near the amount expected if I actually had the BAC this device reported. This includes the ridiculous 0.20% reading I got in the last ten minutes while I am still fully cogent and capable, and received in less than 5 minutes following the 0.08% and 0.10% readings. Do NOT rely on this product. It is likely to give you a highly inaccurate reading that could endanger others if it is telling you the reading is far lower than it actually is, or (with far less consequences but still misleading and potentially affecting your perception of your own behaviors) could tell you that you are absolutely hammered when you definitely are not.

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.

Nice device

Much better quality and precision then other less costly products. Worth the purchase. Other products were inconsistent, even to the point of registering alcohol when nothing but water had been consumed for many hours prior by a zero consumption person.

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.

I just recieved it, and tested it with beer. I can assure this unit is really accurate, the results fits according to the number of beer I took. It give a good 0.000% for a non-drinker, even if I just tested sombody that is drunk right before. Cons: - Need calibration each <1500 test - Calibration cost 20$ + shipping to USA Pros: - Very accurate - Small - If they can't recalibrate it, they send you a brand new one for the calibration price - Fast, simple ! - Good for party or just for fun - Good to see if you can drive - Good to see that the 0.08 limit is a good limit, I'm very drunk at this step.

Having the secure knowledge that you are not intoxicated before you get behind, the wheel is more than worth the $100 spent on this item. Can you imagine how much it would cost you? If you didn't know that you were blowing just over the limit and you had to spend all that money on your car getting towed, the tickets you have to pay and the embarrassment of being pulled over for a DUI. Buy this item. Put in your glove compartment and know that you will always be safe on the road and not incur any ridiculous and shameful DUI charges
