I feel so safe using this product! Now I am certain that every time I drive, I am ok and will do no harm. And so are my friends and family! I wasn't sure the results were reliable in the beginning but when my not so healthy sister used the product after drinking more than me, her high reading proved that results are reliable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this about a month ago with the intention of monitoring myself and some friends. We were all surprised by how quickly a person can become legally drunk without feeling it. Definitely worth it and very accurate.

If your looking its because you drink and potentially drive, or someone you care about does. PURCHASE it! I started with the keychain and have since bought two Elements. The fuel cell accuracy (closer to law enforcement model) and 3 digit display are a must. My wife and I and friends use them all the time. No one drives without blowing! Its surprising how many friends we have stopped from driving when they said "I feel alright to drive" and then blow over .10. Telling people not to drive doesn't work but once seeing the numbers always stops them. As a rule we will not drive over .04 and we make sure the number is decreasing. You quickly learn how much you can have and how much time, water and food it takes to drop the numbers, or just call a cab. I unfortunately know the cost, aggravation and embarrassment of an OWI. Over 1.5 years of time to complete the process with court, lawyers, counseling and 12 months of interlock. You will happily blow into your BACtrack after spending a year with an interlock to start your car. After the OWI ordeal I decided I wouldn't drink and drive ever.... that was very difficult with my social and professional group. So I purchased the BACtrack which has helped me be very responsible and continue to have a few cocktails with friends and business associates. Now several friends are also using a BACtrack and living a much more responsible lifestyle. PURCHASE the ELEMENT.

It only worked for 1 year, now gives say 0.00 when I'm clearly drunk. I know because I have breathalyzer in my car. I've changed batteries and am unsure why it wont work. Only used 65 times total. Save your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The breathalyzers I purchased were good. I had a little trouble at first with a "error message". Then I decided to drink and wait for about 45 minutes then tried it again and it finally worked. Lol. Advice...drink some alcohol so you can get a reading.

I've been using the Element for about 2 years now and have been extremely happy with it. We like to have gatherings of friends at our house and as the night goes on... the Element comes out. Its funny to see how many people actually want to use it to see their BAC levels, which also makes it easier to convince them to get a ride home or call a cab. I'm going to give it a 4/5 on reliability only based on the fact that sometimes it takes several tries to get an accurate reading, but human error could play a part in this.

The reason I bought this unit because it has 3 digits display. Most of the time it pretty accurate. I used it about 10 times. However, one time I didn't drink or eat anything but it gave a reading of .0012
