BACtrackTrace Breathalyzer Professional-Grade Accuracy, Black

This is great if you have a teenager that you think is doing some stuff they shouldn’t be

Solid unit. I hope it holds up. I feel the readings are accurate. I compare to other tools.

I wanted to see about testing my BAC if I ever needed to do so. This device seems to be accurate.I tested myself during different drinking episodes. My wife, who didn't drink, would always register a 0.000. While I was drinking, I would register appropriate increases with each drink. It is true that if you drink alcohol, you must wait at least 10-20 minutes to get an accurate BAC reading, but I'm guessing it doesn't always mean that what you last drank has been absorbed and circulated in your blood stream. Anyhow, the readings increased with each drink.The opposite, but appropriate readings were scored through the night. With every few hours, my alcohol levels were decreasing and my 7 am reading was all zeros.Anyhow, the readings seemed appropriate, and they also correlated with what type of buzz or disorientation I was feeling at the time.To note..... the device will wait almost a minute to provide another reading, when the last reading was really high... like BAC of 0.46 (which was registered right after taking a whiskey shot). So it waited about 50 seconds to let you take another reading. Seems appropriate though, because such a high reading might require a bit of time to let the device dry out and maybe reset?Anyhow, I like it. It seems accurate and useful.

When I was researching this product I noticed several reviews saying right out of the box they kept getting the FLO error message. This concerned me, but due to the high amount of positive reviews I purchased the BACtrack Trace. The first few times I used it I also got the dreaded FLO error. In my case it was user error. After you press the Start button it will start a 11 second countdown. You need to wait until it hits "0" and the screen will display START and three lines. Blow into the mouthpiece with steady pressure, like blowing up a ballon. You will hear a solid beep while you're blowing. Blow until you hear a double beep and a click (about 6 seconds). It takes about 15 seconds for the unit to display the BAC.I wish this info was in the users manual but it is on the BACtrack website. They state "A FLO error is usually a sign that the unit is not receiving an adequate breath sample. This is usually caused by two factors: blowing too hard/soft and/or not blowing long enough. When the countdown reaches 0 and shows "START," blow continuously for 6 FULL SECONDS WITHOUT STOPPING through the long audible sound until you hear a click and a double beep. It is imperative that you do not stop the flow of breath until you hear a click and a double beep at the end."After reading this procedure I have had no problem at all, and the device is very accurate so far. Compared with a popular online BAC calculator, the results are almost identical. Very happy with this purchase. Another thing I would like to address is all of the reviews stating this breathalyzer is non-returnable. If you read the entire policy it states "This item in non-returnable, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement". That's good enough for me.

Or waste it on a cheaper model. If you want piece of mind for your kids or you then it’s worth it. Of course they “never” drink and drive. They are always “careful”. Now it’s up to them and I’ve done my part.Bought cheaper ones. Wanted a Cheaper one when replacing them cause they weren’t working and had to replace those. At least they were trying them and I realized it’s an investment and it matters.The cheaper ones were a good intro and a party hit but that’s how we found out they weren’t correct after a couple weeks. It’s all business now and I can sleep at night. Especially with an offer of a couple mom paid Ubers when this registers above the limit. Cheaper than sacrificing their future and someone else’s.

Not accurate at all. I'm 250 lbs. After 1 can of white claw 5% it says I'm at .16. Double the legal limit. That's ridiculous. Then 10 minutes later it says .08.

This thing has saved me a lot of money! If you have blow n go and struggling with addiction helps keep you out of trouble! IS a must!

This breathalyzer is a must-have for anyone looking to ensure the safety of themselves and their friends before hitting the road. It’s quick, easy to use, and gives accurate results, offering peace of mind after a night out. Having this on hand helps take the guesswork out of whether it's safe to drive, making responsible decisions easier.The compact design means it's portable enough to bring anywhere, and it’s a small investment for the added safety it provides. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to prioritize safety and avoid unnecessary risks.
