Works great. Not worth the risk of a DUI

The element seems accurate and stays calibrated. I also bought a key chain model, and the small white one. They both lost their calibration almost immediately, rendering them useless. But, I would buy the element again.

Whenever I go out I take it with me and test myself before driving. Introduced to many of my friends and then everyone wants to use it. Wish they would buy their own . Well worth the price of staying out of jail...

We love this instrument. Using it sporadically, we've actually become much better at predicting our own blood alcohol content and have a very good feel now for whether we are around .02, .04, .06. .08 or above. It's also really helped friends who were "sure" they were ready to drive home... and then called an Uber/Lyft. For social drinkers, it's a must have.

We bought it as more of a toy or party favor because we don't drink and drive EVER. My only issue, which I don't believe is BACtrack's fault, is the 20 minutes you have to wait without putting anything in your mouth before actually using it. Nobody can wait 20 minutes, so it seems everyone is blowing at a much higher level than they probably really are.

I had Intoxalock breathalyzer in my car from a DUI. I used the Element so I didn't fail. It was accurate to the .001% for ages. I didn't realize these required calibration, so towards the end it started under-reading. I sent in for calibration & was told couldn't be done- I'd had it 3yrs & used 1,600 times. They offered me $40 off for a new one & I turned it down & had my old one sent back. Mistake. Should've taken the deal. Just ordered the S80 w/ 20% discount free shipping $104 total. Top of the line, supposed to last a long time. No more DUIs. But this Element is very good too. Don't get a cheap one.

I bought this for my 21 year old. Better safe than sorry! He and his friends use it to make sure they are ok to drive.

I love this product. I have used it for years (5+ yrs) and recently had to purchase a new BACtrack Element Pro and it is just as great. I definitely would recommend this product, it is fast, easy to use, and well worth the piece of mind it gives.
