5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Small and durable which is nice, very accurate and easy to use. Works great for such a small thing. Takes one battery, and even better that it has an app to go with it. Gives fast results in under min.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money! I suggest get the case to keep your investment safe & clean.
I have only had my breathalyzer for almost a week. Here's what I love so far...The Size of this breathalyzer is fantastic. The unit worked first time after put battery (1 AAA) blew until the beeping noise stopped after watching the very clear countdown from 5. I had not been drinking and did blow a 0.0 first time. When asking my son and husband to try, they both blew the same 0.2, but I was informed by them that they both used mouthwash that morning (test was about 3pm) and it does detect the alcohol in the mouthwash. BTW, using mouthwash to hide drinking is always a bad idea, it will elevate your numbers and most police are wise to the smell of fresh mouthwash.This little cutie also has a wonderful addition where it tells you after you blow and get your rate of alcohol, the amount of time you need to stop drinking and wait to drive. Incidentally, when it was only 0.2, it said to wait over an hour to drive without impairment.I also purchased the case that is available for this item and so glad I did. The case will keep the unit safe as well as clean. It is a hard shell with a zipper. I have the extra mouth pieces I purchased also in the case, in the other pouch available. If you keep the case and unit in your purse or car, you will always know the answer to that very important question... "To drive or to Uber?", as well as how long you should wait if you still want to take your car.I believe this is a small price compared to getting pulled over and in trouble. The costs of time off, and other legal issues is far more expensive vs the purchase of this little gem. I will get back and review again after having it for a few months.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool to Have
I’ve had this breathalyzer for a year now and it’s still working great. I’ve kept it in my car console and that hasn’t been a problem at all (I live in the South). I feel like the unit consistently gives accurate readings if you follow the directions and I like how quick the whole process is.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent unit, though not as good a value as the C6
I actually bought this to have a second unit since I liked my C6 so much. The only real difference is that this one has a bigger screen, and shows you your estimated time to sober on the unit itself without having to pull up the companion cell phone app (which I also LOVE, and which works with both units). For the price and size difference, I'm not sure that I really care. And the C8 is a little less quick to use for it - you have to manually turn it off after the test, or it'll be ~40 seconds of telling you stuff on the screen before it shuts off on its own. Not a huge deal, but again, for how much cheaper the C6 is, I kind of prefer that option.But all in all, if you do want that estimate, the C8 is a great option.I rated the accuracy only 4 stars because my unit seems to read a fair bit high compared to the C6 on the exact same breath, and given the circumstances I tend to trust the C6 more. I'm not sure if that's the unit itself, or my C6 being in need of calibration. On the plus side, measuring high is the better kind of inaccuracy to have in this case, so that's good.
1.0 out of 5 stars Not working
Bactrack asked me to write a review, but they might not like my review.Tl;DRThe device is not working, always returning 0. I have tried it 4 times, the time where I drunk the most was with 1 glass of wine and 2 cocktails, with a light meal, and still saying that I am sober (I was definitely tipsy).PS: I reached out to the support and made sure I was using the device properly, waited the appropriate time before using the device.Longer version:The support told me that you are supposed to wait up to 45 minutes as it can takes that long for alcohol to reach your bloodstream. And you should wait at least 15 minutes after your last sip. Obviously height, weight, gender, metabolism, food consumed, how quickly you drink will affect the results, but on my side, it has always returned that I was completely sober.The device is small and light, so easy to carry. It's quite quick to turn on, easy to us. I love UX of the device overall. The only minor comment is that it is hard to open the battery section.I am using an iPhone app, it's not a high-quality UX but does the job. My main comments are that it's sometimes slow, especially when you want to go through the different screens of a recording. I have to wait a few seconds of it to load/unfreeze.It also offers the ability to record what you consumed, but it's very not user friendly, and it requires a lot of effort to log a drink when in my opinion it should be super fast and easy.All this slowness/bad UX is fine as I am at home and have plenty of time to dedicate to that, but in a non-shelter in place situation when someone would like to use these features, I think it would be a bit more frustrating. But again to be fair, the MAIN feature of the device which is to inform you about the alcohol in your blood is fast and easy.It also does not offer a much data visualization, for instance I would love to be able to watch my drinking trends. I am using this device mostly to understand my alcohol consumption and see if it's reasonable. It might not be the goal of the main customer target, but I would really appreciate that feature.The customer support said that they would initiate shipping to inspect the unit, I am not super excited about having to do this but no choice... I will update my comment once I receive a new unit.

Ziemlich genau ! Man muss nur das Komma verschieben ;)
Cumple su propósito
Solo espera 20 minutos después de un alimento, bebida o cigarro para que el aparato de una medición precisa, no lo he usado con el celular ya que no es necesario a no ser que quieras tener un seguimiento de tu actividad alcohólica :3
Histoire vrais!
L’éthylomètre fonctionne très bien!Je l’ai testé un soir après un souper entre amis. Tout le monde croyait avoir bu "juste un peu", mais l'appareil a vite mis les pendules à l'heure! Même mon beau-frère, sûr de lui, a été surpris du résultat... Résultat : on a tous pris un taxi, et on a bien ri. Franchement, un outil simple, fiable, et qui peut éviter bien des mauvaises décisions!
très bon produit, fiable, efficace et facile à transporter
excellent produit, très efficace et très précis si on l'utilise en respectant les consignes d'utilisation avec rigueur .... je conseille ce produit
Werkt goed en snel
Niet eerst veel (verse) lucht inademen. Dat geeft de beste meting. Het apparaat heeft niet veel adem nodig, maar wel gelijkmatig vooor +/- 4 sec.
