Excellent and easy to use... but... Had to recalibrate after 41/2 months.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use the BACTrack for work (to check BAC of clients). The recalibration process was quick and easy. My machine was gone for a very short period of time and did not affect my business.

Real easy to use and accountable. Would recommend to any one who wants to know alcohol level before leaving a restuarante.

Overall, great. But be aware of the limited life

I've been very pleased with the device. But after a couple years, the device only read 0.00. I knew I was supposed to send the unit back for calibration every year, but since I hadn't been using it, I didn't. Then after it started reading 0.00 for every test, I figured it was the calibration and sent it in. That's when I found out that these units do have a limited life (3-5 years). This was the first I'd heard that. There was nothing about it in the manual. I also learned that if you don't have it calibrated yearly, that could shorten the life expectancy. This was very disappointing to me. I read every manual of any device I purchase. And there was nothing about this in the manual. PLEASE BE WARNED: these devices will need to be replaced every 3-5 years, even WITH annual calibration. Now, don't take this the wrong way. These devices are TOTALLY WORTH IT. I'm a professional in the alcohol business, so my career depends on staying clean of alcohol related offenses. Plus, it's just the right thing to do. Be responsible. Take care of your unit. Have it calibrated annually. And when it does die. Buy another one. I will definitely purchase another S80 Pro unit when the time comes. All I ask is that Bactrack and other breathalyzer companies be more forthcoming with the life expectancy of their products.

Very disappointed in the privacy policy

I'm very disappointed in the draconian privacy policy. There is no reason you should want my geolocation info tied to BAC readings. How do I know that you won't report me to the police for drunk driving if I get in a taxi after a night at the bar. Your privacy policy specifically mentions this as something you may do. Please feel free to contact me about these concerns if you would like.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have only tried it a couple of times. But it's really nice. That on this one. You can choose between standalone and app mode. Something that wasn't possible on the old model. I am not sure about how accurate this is. But I think it gives you a good idea of your alcohol level. Great product.

Love how small and simple this device is!! If I weren't me, I'd be jealous of me for having it. The app is sleek and integration is flawless.

My wife and I host friends and family for dinner parties 2-3 times a month, where let's just say, a few bottles of wine may or may not be consumed. At the end of the night, before we had our BACtrack, everyone would swear up and down they were fine to drive, and we would have to believe them. Now we have an easy way to determine where everyone stands. If anyone is even close to .08, they have a glass of water, eat some more food and wait 30-60 minutes before they're allowed to leave. Why risk it?
