BACtrack Element Reviews

4.5 Rating 184 Reviews
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.

I own a business and have employees that have a drinking problem, often times they show up to work looking like they are drunk, their job requires them to use equipment that could cause injury to them or others around them if anything goes wrong. I bought the BACtrack along with extra mouth pieces and had everyone in the company use the BACtrack. I then told them I would be doing random Breathalyzer tests in the future. I've unfortunately had to send not only one but two employees home due to intoxication, however they got the 'message' and their attendance has improved. Using the BACtrack has put my mind at ease by taking charge of the safety of my employees and company.

I decided to order one of these to test people leaving my house. It works quickly and easily, and every person has appreciated my concern. I have room for overnighters, and although I rarely have anyone drinking at my house, when they do, they can stay, if necessary.

I bought this a month ago & put my mind at ease before I had to blow into the interlock system.

My BACtrack was delivered in quick time. I have found it very easy to setup and fun to operate. I have already learnt a lot about tolerance levels of alcohol consumption & I have no doubt it will enhance my driving safety. Who knows - it may even save me money!!

I purchased two. One I had to send back. I inadvertently purchased it used through Amazon. When I sent it back I received a new one in the mail. Also, I recently had one calibrated. I have an interlock in my vehicle. The backtrac is very accurate and as a result I have had no fails. The interlock will fail at .01. So this devise has saved $35 each time I thought I would be OK and have been a .02 or so. Great value for the money. I use mine often. The one I purchased in Feb. 2014 had to be recalibrated at around 160 used, however, at $20 it is a very good bargain. I would recommend to anyone who wants to avoid a DWI or not allow other friends to drive.

Bought this product about a month ago. Works great. Brought it to a few parties just to check it out. Had a few friends try it. Everyone that tried it was impressed how easy is is to work.

I purchased this for my daughter, who just turned 21, 6 months ago out of concern for her. She does have a good head on her shoulders. She uses it along her girlfriends before they get behind the wheel. I have picked her up once due to being over the limit because she didn't eat a good meal and she only had two drinks! Previously, she has had 3 or so drinks during an evening with her levels being .02 or less! When the young adults first start drinking, they have no idea how to judge or trust just how much drinking affects them, not to mention having no idea just how much alcohol the mixed drinks have because they vary so much depending on the bar keep. I love that this help us sleep at night.
