I bought this from my Christmas money,...it's a good product, very accurate, the reading is very accurate and reflects the true reading of alcohol in your system. Battery last very long time....I tried others in the past with very disappointing results. The only negative aspect is that once yearly, the machine need to be sent to California for re-calibration. Because I live in NJ, I would love to see from the company a closer or more local agency to re-calibrate to machine, so I don't have to send it to CA and wait 1 or 2 weeks to get it back.
So my frined and I hadve had a quite a few shots and we can't seem to tell if this thing wis working right or nitl. I keep blowing and .11 and he keeps blowing a .06 but we have had qutie a lot. I just got this one. the ohter one I have is a different one forn another comp[any but seem s to max out at .199. On the plse side hje did find that right after a shot we errow this thing. Wooo hooo!
This is my second BACtrack. It is smaller than my last one and seems to be more precise.I try to use it every few weeks in order to extend its useful life.
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
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 bought two BACtrack Elements models so both my wife and I could keep them in our vehicles. With the holiday season nearing, the potential to partake in consumption of adult beverages is greater. Not only do we have peace of mind that we're driving legally but can make sure that our friends and relatives are safe as well before they get behind the wheel. We highly recommend that anyone who ever consumes alcohol uses a BAC track before they drive to protect themselves and those around them.
