This product stopped me from driving after 4 beers in a 2hr time span. I waited the 20min (+- 2min in both directions) and blew a .072. Legal to drive but I didn't want to risk the accuaracy. However 30min later and a lot of sitting around I blew a .03... No idea if I'm getting an accurate readout or what. That has been the only time I've drank and used this device.

i bough this gadget as an reminder not to drive if drinking. i usually handle alcohol fine, but this device is great reminder tool, numbers don't lie. i just hope that device is accurate as advertised. it seems correct when testing different people/friends and drinks they have consumed
I would recommend this to a friend!

This might work great but there were no instructions included in the package. I would like to know things such as; how long after having a drink do you have to wait to test?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am an ignition interlock technician. I run and manage multiple service centers that install ignition interlocks (breathlyzers) into people's vehicles that get a DUI, DWI, APC or other alcohol or drug related offense. I have been doing this for three and ahalf years. I purchased this device because if I receive a DUI I lose my job. Not because my boss would frown upon me receiving a DUI but because the my state won't certify a person that has a DUI. In fact they will actually revoke your certification if you do. That being said, my BACtrack-Element Breathalyzer has been extremely reliable, accurate and has saved me from drinking and driving numerous times. For those of you that either have a BacTrac or are about to buy one I can tell you this. Most states have an offense called an APC (Actual Physical Control) where if you are in or near your vehicle with your keys and are intoxicated you can be arrested. Most states treat this just like a DUI when it comes to getting a Breathalyzer in your car. If you get one of these Bactracs which I recommend. DO NOT WAIT TO GET OUT TO YOUR CAR BEFORE YOU BLOW INTO YOUR BREATHALYZER! You want to see how high your BAC (Breath Alcohol Content) is before you go out to your car. All states you want your BAC level to be under .050 which is a DWI, the lighter version of a DUI which is .080, before you go out to your vehicle. I hope none of you will ever need my services and I can tell you that if you buy one of these you are far less likely to get an alcohol related driving offense.

I've been using the Element for about 2 years now and have been extremely happy with it. We like to have gatherings of friends at our house and as the night goes on... the Element comes out. Its funny to see how many people actually want to use it to see their BAC levels, which also makes it easier to convince them to get a ride home or call a cab. I'm going to give it a 4/5 on reliability only based on the fact that sometimes it takes several tries to get an accurate reading, but human error could play a part in this.
I would recommend this to a friend!
