I have purchased 4 of them

Very handy to have for testing yourself after an evening out. I have one in each of my vehicles. Be sure to keep them above 32 degrees to be accurate and wait the required 15-20 minutes before testing. Believe me these work and are well worth the money. I haven't had to have one calibrated yet, so can't say how that process works. Anyone who drinks and drives should own one of these.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My husband and I purchased this item after I served on a jury trial for DUI. We really had no idea what out BAC would be after a drink or two, and we were both suprised how intoxicated we feel and are still UNDER the legal limit! I definitely think the .08 standard here in CA is a rather generous one, and I find that at a .04 I would not feel comfortable behind the wheel of a car.This device is helpful as we now have a better understanding of what our limits are.

The thing is accurate if you blow with the correct flow (i.e. right above the threshold). There is an increase in percieved BAC. that is directly proportional to the rate of airflow inherent in each test. For example, If I blow just above the rate at which it recognizes my breath it gives me a reading of 0.101-.0.104 whereas if I blow as hard as I can it gives a reading of 0.500 (importantly, it is impossible for the device to read higher than that... and anyone with half of a brain would realize there is no way I could be typing this with a BAC of 0.500 as it is above a lethal dose). Therefore, it is insufficient for the device to claim to be as accurate as it claims to be without specifying the parameter of making the breath flow equivalent to the minimum detection specification.

After a night of partying, this is a great device to check yourself out before driving the next morning - I've been surprised to find myself at .04 the next morning (which is too high for me so I wait to drive).

I use it often when going out or to a friends & I always know if I can drive home that night, or even in the morning. Simple to use & consistent accuracy. Takes 20 mins of no drinking/smoking/eating, but that is with all breathalizers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We use this product everytime we have any alcohol. It is simple to use and gives an accurate results as to what our blood alcohol content is. It is small and compact and is packaged such that it is not easily recognizeable. We are very happy with this product
