“I got the BACtrack Element to know when i was safe to drive , not an estimate of when i felt safe. Now my drinking behaviour has changed because I am much more concious of what I have consumed. I didn't expect this device to become a health device , but it has .”
“It stands out well above the cheaper brands and gives reliable readings when checked against other meters.However it is very hard to get a reading and one needs to try over again up to six times to avoid a "FLO" error message and get a valid reading. Battery life appears to be good.”
We're so happy to hear the BACtrack Element is working well for you! I've sent a private email to you following up on the readings with a bit more info.
“I had a hard time deciding between the BACtrack Element and other similar BACtrack breathalyzers. In the end, I chose the Element for its great reviews, cost, and the fact that it uses the same technology as other high-end BACtrack breathalizers. I like the minimalist design and rock solid feel. This device feels like a quality heavy duty breathalyzer that's made to last. And, most importantly, the results are so accurate and consistent. Like other breathalyzers using the same technology, it will need to be returned to BACtrack each year or so for calibration. I haven't yet needed to do this so I can't comment on it. Just be aware that it will eventually be necessary to keep it accurate.”
“This device is made to last, I've had other devices feel light and cheap. THIS is not one of those devices, it is really easy to use and on the list to use on DOT alcohol screenings.”
“Product came not calibrated. Then they wanted me to pay to send it back to recalibrate it. I took the loss and got rid of it. It felt cheap for the price and shipping I paid.”
