I use this device often and it is a good tester for alcohol levels in our blood. Good for checking kids to see if they were drinking where they should not be! As well ofcourse appropriate for preventing drunk driving.
I had this product for over 2 months. It worked maybe 2 or 3 times and not sure how accurate that was. Since then I keep it in a dust free pouch not to contaminate it and it still failed. I tried everything but it still records a 0.00 BAC even after a few good drinks. Don't trust it!!!!!
This device keeps us informed of our blood alcohol content (BAC) to let us know when we're too impaired to drive. It works great and is easy to use. A very important purchase. If more people had the sense to use an alcohol detector, there would be fewer fatalities & arrests. Highly recommended.
I put this on our wedding registry as a gag gift but it is so much more. Out of all our wedding gifts this little sucker has been the highlight and used everyday. It is suppose to be practical but it so much more than that!<br />
I would recommend this to EVERYONE!
I got this breathalyzer because of a inability to judge when I was "legally" drunk. After some informal testing, it seems to work as advertised. It's small and easy to carry. Plus, after using it a while, I'm better able to judge my level of intoxication even when I don't have it.
Also very handy at parties when an inebriated guest is insistent on leaving. If they pass the test they can have their keys!

Right out of the box this product malfuctioned. I was completely sober and it told me that my bac was .099. Save your money and buy another.
I purchased this product for my 24 year old son, who is an alcoholic with one DUI & illegal U turn already. After the first dozen or so uses he decided that he must reduce his intake if he intends to drive home, and he will be relying on designated drivers and/or taxis much more frequently now that he sees the results of the test. Thank you, AlcoHAWK, he and I both believe your tester saves lives.
About a year ago, a police officer pulled me over, and with one look at me stated "sir, step out of the car". Not good. I thought I was OK to drive, I felt fine...until I took the field sobriety tests. I failed all three in quite a miserable way. It sucks knowing you are going to jail on a Friday night. I blew 0.173, double the legal limit. Again, not good.
Fortunately for me, my sober wife was in the car and he felt sorry for me since I was a lowly state government employee. He let me go. The next day I looked online a bought a breathlyzer on eBay. It has saved me many times. You think you may be able to drive, but once you check yourself you realize you are in trouble.
I highly recommend this device. Follow the instructions carefully. Don't blow into this right after you took a shot. If you do, you will destroy the device. That's why I had to buy my second one. Keep testing yourself until you have 3 consecutive tests that give similar results. You will find that you are much more intoxicated than you think.
This is a great product - it actually is kind of fun. I thought of getting it because our friend has one that he passes around at parties. It's neat for people to see how high their blood alcohol content is, and if it's about what they expect it to be.
My only complaint is that this product is not meant to be used often. The second time we "played" with it (at home), the readings seemed to be off. I then read in the product information that if you use the product frequently, it may need to be recalibrated every month or so. Recalibration involves mailing it off and paying $20.
Now that we know that, we'll keep it in our pocket and use it when we truly have concerns - not passing it around for everyone to use. But I love that they sell these for the public to use, and it truly is an important safety tool for modern times.
The item did not work out of the box, acting like the battery was low and would error out when taking the test. I tested several sets of different brands of batteries on a voltmeter and determined them all to be good, none of them helped this product work any better. I immediately returned it and purchased a similar model from this same company through Sharper Image, which stopped working two weeks later, claiming I was a .39 even sober (At .39 BAC, most people would need to be hospitalized). I followed all precautions set forth in the manual and feel these products are not made to last and others should spend their money more wisely.
