“I bought the original unit in 2012 and used it sparingly. I never gave a thought to recalibrating it until a few months ago when it stopped reading anything. I contacted the company but since it was so long out of calibration (they recommend once a year) they weren't able to recalibrate it. They were very nice though and gave me a nice credit towards a new unit. This one I will have calibrated yearly (19.99). As far as I could tell the unit was accurate up until it stopped working.”
“I bought this about a week ago used it several times already works great no complainants so far with it and its definitely worth the few extra bucks to get the higher models they seem to work better.”
“Just purchased the S80 on the advice of my friends who own one. Better safe than sorry since our DUI threshold is 0.05% now.
Q: Do I have to use a new mouthpiece for each test? What about two tests, say 30 mins. Apart? Can I wash or clean and reuse mouthpieces?”
“As a recipient of a DWI, I purchased the S80 a year ago and it has been very reliable.
As directed I returned my unit for its annual maintenance removing the batteries and the blow tube. It was returned within a week and to my surprise contained batteries and a nice case. Who know I would more back than I sent in?
But the real value is in the unit. Only wish I would have been smart enough to get serious about checking my blood alcohol level BEFORE the DUI.
Thanks BACtrack.”
“I got my S80 as a gift from my Mom two years ago. It usually just stays in my purse all the time, especially if I know I'm going out. I always test myself to be sure where I'm at through out the night. I also test anyone who is driving me! My friends love to use it as much as I do. It is a life saver, literally!
Last week I sent my unit in to be calibrated. Well, unfortunately, they could not calibrate my unit for some reason. So they sent me a BRAND NEW ONE. Awesome customer service!!
I love mine and would recommend to any and everyone. You may not need it all the time, but it's great to have when you do need it.”
“Purchase process was easy. Product turned up very quickly despite being just before Christmas. Once you get the hang on the different modes the product is a quick and reliable way of judging blood alcohol. Changing between measurement modes is a bit fiddly but otherwise product couldn't be easier to use”
