BACtrack Element Breathalyzer | Professional-Grade Accuracy | DOT & NHTSA Compliant | Portable Breath Alcohol Tester for Personal & Professional Use

This breathalyzer is excellent! I used it at a school dance to check if anyone was intoxicated, and it worked perfectly. It’s very accurate, easy to use, and provides quick results. The compact design makes it super portable. Highly recommend for reliable and professional-grade alcohol testing!

Bought this product to keep track of my BAC levels when drinking and also to see how accurate it was out of curiosity. It's very easy to put together and comes with a nice assortment of tips to use to gauge your BAC levels. As one other customer review excellently pointed out the manual that comes with it describes some things well such as what the BAC level means and overviews what the outside buttons do. However, it does poorly mention how you have to blow into the device for more than 11 seconds and wait for it to click in order for it to display your results. If you stop too soon, then you won't get a reading at all and it makes you seem like it's defective but it's not. You just need to blow into it longer than 11 seconds and wait for the feeling it gives you in your hand. It will feel like the device has just clicked or activated then you'll get your test results. I've tried it quite a few times and the readouts are pretty accurate based on how intoxicated I was. I do recommend this product it's a solid purchase and works well, but I just wish the manufacturer did a better job of explaining its operation.

UPDATE: Hours later, I've added a picture of this crazy device telling me my BAC is nearly 0.32% out of the blue without additional alcohol consumption or any noticable symptoms of intoxication. If this were accurate, not only would I not be typing a cogent review free of spelling and grammatical errors right now, I would almost certainly be passed out or fully deceased. I'm pretty sure this unit has been fully debunked beyond all belief at this point (and it also gave me yet another reading under the legal limit to drive within five minutes of this one). DO NOT BUY THIS THING!I had some whiskey in an adult sippy cup with a straw (like a Robek's cup but by a different manufacturer). This was equivalent to around 2-3 drinks, somewhere between half an hour ago and an hour ago. I took three successive readings within the last ten minutes, and the three readings were taken sequentially by pressing the power button after a rest period of around 30 seconds each time (as this is the time period when the device shows the previous reading and prepares to reset). Each time, another countdown provides an additional wait period of around 20 seconds before you can blow into the BAC reader again.I paid a much higher premium for this particular device because it was supposed to have, as it says in the title, "professional-grade accuracy". However, this is the third occasion in the last 2 weeks where the readings I got in a five to ten minute period were both wildly inaccurate, and so inconsistent that it borders on totally random number generation.Tonight, my three readings occurred within a five minute period, and came in at 0.08%, 0.10%, and 0.20%. This is an enormous range and not something you can trust if you are trying to wait for an appropriate level of sobriety before driving. Thankfully, all of my tests happened in the safety of my own home. In most states, 0.08% is the legal limit, so a reading at this level would technically be legal to drive at. By the standard of most charts you can find about BAC, as well as the papers that came with the device, 0.20% is essentially "blackout drunk" and where you can expect to have serious impairment, slurred speech, potentially "the spins" where your sense of the world around you is nauseatingly spinning, motor skill incapacities and other highly negative effects.On all three nights I tested this device, it was completely inconsistent and objectively inaccurate. On none of these occasions did I feel, speak or act impaired at anywhere near the amount expected if I actually had the BAC this device reported. This includes the ridiculous 0.20% reading I got in the last ten minutes while I am still fully cogent and capable, and received in less than 5 minutes following the 0.08% and 0.10% readings.Do NOT rely on this product. It is likely to give you a highly inaccurate reading that could endanger others if it is telling you the reading is far lower than it actually is, or (with far less consequences but still misleading and potentially affecting your perception of your own behaviors) could tell you that you are absolutely hammered when you definitely are not.

I bought this product for my daughter who just recently turned 21. It is simple to use and comes with multiple reusable mouthpieces. It gives me piece of mind that she will be able to test her alcohol level before she gets in her car and drives home. Because it has multiple mouth pieces her friends all can use the device.

While this breathalyzer appears accurate in its BAC readings, the amount of time required to blow into it for it to register is excessively long. Most individuals I've tested have had to attempt blowing into it up to 10 times to achieve a reading. Those with breathing issues, COPD, smokers, or elderly individuals struggle significantly due to the prolonged blowing required. Some have even needed to sit down and rest, feeling out of breath, lightheaded, and dizzy.Although it outperforms both off-brand and name-brand competitors I've tested, this product requires substantial revisions and improvements.

Great product and seems accurate. This is a great tool for your toolbox.

I have used this to test myself before the interlock on my vehicle and it has always been spot on. I trust it 100%.
