“This seems the same to me as the Element model, which is good. I read somewhere that this one lasts longer before it needs to be re-calibrated.
Don't get a cheap one- they're a pain, you have to wait ages if you even eat a potato chip. These fuel cell ones are much better. $80 & up = good $40 & below = bad”
“I love the S80 after the first use it has paid for itself, very accurate and reliable I make sure I don't store it in extreme weather I dont leave it in my car over night. I put a reminder on my phone calendar when I need to get it recalibrated, I've recommended this product to all of my drinking buddies.”
“So far the product has been great. It is still only 2 days old though! It is really cool to be able to see exactly where your levels are. Should have bought this years ago!!”
“I got 45 uses out of it before it stopped working and would give me the "Flo" message every time. Sometimes it wouldn't even register the breath and would just show the "Out" message. Not sure how accurate it is, either. At least I KNOW it's more accurate than the t60. That thing is always WAY off. In short, this thing is a waste of money. I guess if you want a good breathalyzer you have to pay top dollar.”
“I purchased 3 for Christmas gifts, we were out for our Christmas party, Which i gave the BACtrack ahead of Christmas figuring it was the holiday season that parties are usually ahead of Christmas.
I had (2) mixed drinks and felt fine to drive, my Nephew had his breathalyzer in his pocket with a new mouth piece LOL , I did the breathalyzer test and was over BY DOUBLE - OMG - so now I'm Purchasing one for my Husband & myself we don't go out often but it only takes 1 time.
NEED TO READ DIRECTIONS - THANK YOU”
“I bought my unit during a promo with CDOT over a year and a half ago. It's been accurate and I've never had any problems with it. I just had to change the battery for the first time a couple months ago and I've never needed to have it recalibrated. I highly recommend this for anyone that ever goes out and has a drink, even if it's only a couple! You'd be surprised how differently your body may process alcohol. It was definitely an eye opener for me to see the different readings at different times.
$100 now beats 10s of thousands and a lifetime of regret later.”
“I read some of the 1 star reviews... first of all, if you JUST take a sip of a drink and measure accuracy, it will be extremely different than waiting 5 minutes. If you read the directions and follow the instructions, this device is extremely accurate. I've purchased 3, and about to purchase 2 more for Christmas gifts. I would not, however, bother calibrating them. It never worked correctly after that. Instead, don't pass it around at a party, because the more uses - especially if it's used wrong - right after drinking - will kill it quick.”
