This review is for: BACtrack S80 Price
I did quite a bit of research before buying this model. I live in Minnesota where alchohol offenses are having increasingly onerous penalties. Not to mention the life changing risk you face if you accidentally kill someone while under the influence. There is no excuse to ever get a DUI if you own one of these and use it correctly. We own a boat and like to spend the days on the lake tipping a few back - well you run the risk of having your vehicle confiscated if you are over the limit, among quite a few other penalties. The S80 always gives an accurate result and gives us the confidence to have a few and know where we stand from a BAC standpoint. Once we had my sister use it - she had been drinking "wine" all day - I was confused when her reading came back as 0.00 - turns out she was drinking grape juice and pretending it was wine.I have owned mine for over a year and have had no problems what-so-ever. If you like to drink at all and have a lot to lose if caught for DUI - this is a must have. The price seems like a bargain when you are the mitigating the risks of far great costs and/or potentially jail time.

Consistent results and easy to use..., 2011-01-31
This review is for: BACtrack S80 Price
"Better safe then sorry", is the reason I picked up the S80. I used the analyzer a couple of times and the results have always been consistent; even with three people using it with different BAC during the same period. The S80 comes with it's own case and 6 individually wrapped mouthpieces. So it is best to pick up the 10 pack of mouthpieces BACTRACK Select Breathalyzer Mouthpieces (Pack of 10), because as soon as your friends find out you have a breath analyzer at a party they are going to want to use it. Also, you should get an extra set of battery and put it in the case, just in case the day you want to use it and the batteries are dead.According to the instructions, do not use breath analyzer until it has been 20 minutes since the last drink/food has been consumed. Following that rule, should provide you with accurate and consistent results.Quality:The S80 is made of plastic; the type of plastic that appears it will not fare well during a fall on concrete. Just be careful to who you hand this too (if the person can't stand, he probably will not be able to hold your $150 investment). The case provided is really nice; it holds the instruction manual and S80 unit. There is a pouch inside the case with a zipper that you can put the mouth pieces (I have 16 pieces in mine) and extra batteries. The case is (6"x4"x2").Background:Majority of the breath analyzers that Amazon sells contain two types of sensors; semiconductor-based or fuel cell. The semiconductor-based typically cost less then hundred bucks and are known to be inaccurate and inconsistent with it's result. The fuel cells provides accurate and consistent results, but the breath analyzer with that type of sensor cost a lot more (but less then a DUI). The S80 has the fuel cell sensor.With all of these sensors, they do require to be calibrated once a year or every (200 to 300) tests according to BACtrack. BACtrack charges $20 to recalibrate. It's competitor AlcoHawk charges $29 for it's fuel cell version.(Update 12/11/2001)Be sure to tell the user to take a deep breath before blowing (I just taped a note on the analyzer as a reminder). We used this at a party and my results were accurate, but some people's results were questionable. It turns out I forgot to tell them to take a deep breath (provide a deep lung sample), as described in the instructions. After a retry with a deep breath, the results were more in line of what we expected.

Seems consistent., 2010-06-09

I used this for the first time tonight to make sure I was ok to drive after leaving an Orioles game in Baltimore. It seemed pretty consistent when comparing it to a BAC chart. I weigh 155 lbs and started drinking around 6:30 pm.... I had a total of 4 beers and one shot of 80 proof liquor. At my peak I blew a .14. When I got in my car at 11:05 pm I blew a .08. I blew 4 more times to be sure and it stayed around that much. As I played with it more throughout the evening and morning my BAC would decrease around .01 every 40-45 minutes. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because in the manual it only guarantees an accurate reading between .032 and .008 ......

This review is for: BACtrack S80 Price
I am an engineer and was impressed with the design specifications of the S80. I've actually experimented with a number of different breathalyzers over the years but this is the one I own. I wanted one that the cops use. I mostly use it for fun when drinking with my friends. It was interesting to see how each drink incremently increased your BAC. It's not bad information to have before going out.

Well, my bad decision one evening to drive home after a celebration to get to next morning's doctor appointment. Hit a median in a dark road. Spent the night in jail, charged with DUI - a first in 74 years of life. A large part of the year was spent with DUI penalty activities. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET ONE!!!! Now I'm on probation for three full years, allowed ZERO BAC at any time when driving!I purchased the BACtrack S80 Pro 6 months ago, as it had good reviews and operates on the fuel-cell principle, the only reliable method used by law enforcement. Impressive and clean design, nice carry case, and - mainly - superbly repeatable results! I spent a few weeks to time my BAC over time, rising and falling while - really! - doing 'research drinking' (after all, I'm a chemist). I was able to 'calibrate' myself and was amazed how close I am to published data.Other than doing these tests, I do - have to do - make sure that the instruments always shows 0.000 before I drive (even if it's next morning after a party).In my opinion, the instrument performs to specs. I approached my local police to request comparison of my values to the ones on their equipment - but nobody was willing to 'give me a green light'.Yes, I should have bought that unit earlier - i.e. I should have been more aware of the implications, beside lots of time and close to $10,000 in total cost, now having to list having been 'arrested' when coming home from my many trips. Doesn't <$200 for a reliable tester sound very cheap? Now I don't know the 'precision' if one operates at the border of 0.080 +/- ?Happy New Year 2011!
