Customer Reviews for BACtrack - Element Portable Breathalyzer - Black

I am an ignition interlock technician. I run and manage multiple service centers that install ignition interlocks (breathlyzers) into people's vehicles that get a DUI, DWI, APC or other alcohol or drug related offense. I have been doing this for three and ahalf years. I purchased this device because if I receive a DUI I lose my job. Not because my boss would frown upon me receiving a DUI but because the my state won't certify a person that has a DUI. In fact they will actually revoke your certification if you do. That being said, my BACtrack-Element Breathalyzer has been extremely reliable, accurate and has saved me from drinking and driving numerous times. For those of you that either have a BacTrac or are about to buy one I can tell you this. Most states have an offense called an APC (Actual Physical Control) where if you are in or near your vehicle with your keys and are intoxicated you can be arrested. Most states treat this just like a DUI when it comes to getting a Breathalyzer in your car. If you get one of these Bactracs which I recommend. DO NOT WAIT TO GET OUT TO YOUR CAR BEFORE YOU BLOW INTO YOUR BREATHALYZER! You want to see how high your BAC (Breath Alcohol Content) is before you go out to your car. All states you want your BAC level to be under .050 which is a DWI, the lighter version of a DUI which is .080, before you go out to your vehicle. I hope none of you will ever need my services and I can tell you that if you buy one of these you are far less likely to get an alcohol related driving offense.

This might work great but there were no instructions included in the package. I would like to know things such as; how long after having a drink do you have to wait to test?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It work really good, it give accurate readings IMO. I use this everytime I take the keys after a drink or more. As it have a +- 0.005% accuracy, I never take the keys if I'm over 0.073%. It's a fun unit, really accurate, only if you use it the good way. If you recently took a drink, rinse your mouth with water twice, and you'll get the most accurate reading. I use it in partys, juste for fun to see who is the more drunk :D After a party, people take their cars, so when we suspect somebody should'nt drink, he want to drink anyways... So we tell him "Just for fun, blow in this", they blow, and when they see they're at 0.15, they say... Hmm yeah, I'll call a taxi or sleep here. Very usefull ! It save people and driver licenses.

The device works fine but it does take some effort to get a reading. The problem we are having is getting the breath flow perfect enough to run the test. We have to try and retry but eventually we get a result.

Really excited about this, it's always a good idea to know your breath alcohol percentage. I carry it with me always.
