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.

Considered a few different models but very happy with the Element, particularly because it reads out to an additional decimal point. In my opinion a very important factor. Also, the Element having traits of the professional level units gives me additional confidence; and less arguments!

I bought this to upgrade from my old breathalyzer, also by BACtrack, because I have an Ignition Interlock Device on my car. I like to know that I have a zero BAC before I blow into the IID, because there are many monetary consequences when you fail on the IID. This BACtrack is an excellent investment, and, has since saved me from many other problems.

I can't believe that bars are not required to have one of these awesome gadgets. I am always confident when leaving the bar that I will make it home without losing my license. I love this thing.

Bought the Element about 2 months ago, and couldn't be more pleased. The review Title says it all...

I have had the BACtrack for 9 months now and it seems to be accurate and very consistent. I figure if it has the same measurement for each attempt-- its consistent and it would indicate accuracy. I also like the speed of the test--its quick and easy. I use the unit as a tool for my safety and my friends safety. Its also has a side benefit of guaging your consumption and effects--and at a party--its a hit. I rarely use it as a conversation piece but it is cool. thanks stu

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.
