Sober Living Facility - 'Must Have'
on August 6, 2010
Posted by: Star B.
from Georgia
I run a 30 bed, Recovery Home for men and this is a 'must have' for our facility. We have had a handheld breathalyzer before made by another company, but it was inaccurate and difficult to use. It's manufacturing construction was poor also. The S80 we recently purchased has been a great benefit to our Staff, and serves as a deterrent support to our Residents. It is very accurate, and operation is simple. The display reads clearly each time, and there is no misinterpretation of the results. On one occasion, it detected alcohol use 6 hours after an individual had consumed. I am very pleased with this device, and will recommend it highly to other counselors.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Great

Bought this because I had to get an interlock ignition on my car. Use it before I get in my car to ensure I won't have a violation by blowing with alcohol in my system. Been using it for about 6 weeks and it's been 100% accurate everytime. It's kind of pricey, but I would highly recommend it if you want accurate results.

Very worthwhile

I bought this unit in 10/09. I received a DUI in 6/2008 and fortunately found my way out of it as I was EXACTLY at .080 (the judge was understanding). Since my purchase of this unit I am MUCH more confident in my judgment to drive. If I am within .01 of the legal limit I DO NOT DRIVE. My take is this... if the police have a "gage" to measure where I am at with my BAC why should I not have a gage. Very simple concept right? Just using my own personal... "am i buzzed?" judgment isn't by any means sufficient. Thanks Breathalyzer.net!

I am a Deputy in Harris County, TX. I investigate anywhere from 5-10 DWIs per week. This unit has given me the added ability to confirm my findings from my standardized fieled sobriety tests. The unit is easy to use, fast, reliable, and a great value. I would recommend this unit to other peace officers or to those who wish to monitor alcohol consumption. In fact, my wife was at a party with her friends and one of the ladies was concerned she had consumed too much alcohol. This unit quickly showed that she was in fact over the legal limit. Stay safe.

Great Product

Hard to tell how accurate it is but it seems much more accurate than the older model I own. It also makes the clicking sound just like the ones the police use. The case it comes in is much nicer than the older model as well. My only complaint which is very minor is that I wish it had an off button like the older model, you have to wait for it to auto shut off which seems like it would waste a little more batter life.

So far, an excellent oroduct

I have an ignition interlock device in my vehicle and I use the BacTrac to be certain I am at 0.000 BAC before trying to start my vehicle. It appears to be very reliable at very low level alcohol detection. I also will use the BacTrac to be sure I am "legal" when I no longer have the interlock. It is great piece of mind to know that you are legal if you were stopped.

No regrets

I keep this product under the seat of my car in case i'm in a situation where i'm borderline about driving home or calling a cab. I believe its accurate; it gives readings you would expect to see for the situation and is consistent in those results. It is very small and compact; discreet. I honestly havent used it enough to find any complaints with it. But i do trust the results enough to drive home if it says im under the legal limit.

Good Investment

This instrument takes the guess work out of a beer or two at happy hour. In the 5 weeks I've used it I elected not to drive because the instrument indicated that I was too close to the over limit standard in my community. Well worth the investment.
