I bought this approximately a month ago and I am happy to say that this item is very easy to use and very effective. Couldn't be more satisfied and it gives me a peace of mind.
I own a business and have employees that have a drinking problem, often times they show up to work looking like they are drunk, their job requires them to use equipment that could cause injury to them or others around them if anything goes wrong. I bought the BACtrack along with extra mouth pieces and had everyone in the company use the BACtrack. I then told them I would be doing random Breathalyzer tests in the future. I've unfortunately had to send not only one but two employees home due to intoxication, however they got the 'message' and their attendance has improved. Using the BACtrack has put my mind at ease by taking charge of the safety of my employees and company.
I decided to order one of these to test people leaving my house. It works quickly and easily, and every person has appreciated my concern. I have room for overnighters, and although I rarely have anyone drinking at my house, when they do, they can stay, if necessary.
My BACtrack was delivered in quick time. I have found it very easy to setup and fun to operate. I have already learnt a lot about tolerance levels of alcohol consumption & I have no doubt it will enhance my driving safety. Who knows - it may even save me money!!
Considered a few different models but very happy with the Element, particularly because it reads out to an additional decimal point. In my opinion a very important factor. Also, the Element having traits of the professional level units gives me additional confidence; and less arguments!
I bought this to upgrade from my old breathalyzer, also by BACtrack, because I have an Ignition Interlock Device on my car. I like to know that I have a zero BAC before I blow into the IID, because there are many monetary consequences when you fail on the IID. This BACtrack is an excellent investment, and, has since saved me from many other problems.
