They say first impressions are the most important. The Elite 3 looked and felt like it was made by my computer/tablet/phone company (No names). Setup was easy – and so is daily (?) use. Obvious... See more

Purchased this Alcosense off Amazon

Purchased this piece of kit off Amazon. Its well made and easy to use. Tried it without any drink and it showed me that I was sober with a clear Green sign.
To prove it worked, I had a small amount of Alcohol. When i ran another test it changed to Amber with the reading of Alcohol inside of me. Even so I was well under the driving limit it traced the small amount that I had consumed. Well impressed and happy with my purchase

Replacement for old Excel breath tester

I have used one of the older AlcoSense breathalisers for 6 years and it proved to be most useful. I would never risk driving while there could be any doubt about my alcohol intake but that device gave reassurance and when the opportunity to upgrade to a much later, and more comprehensive unit for a modest charge I took it and am very pleased with it. It seems to be very well made and easy to use and having tried it a couple of times since I received it I am sure it will prove to be better than my previous one.

Good piece of kit

I bought the Excel version after reading up quite a bit about breathalyzers and wanting one which was as close to those used by the Police as possible without spending a fortune.
Impressions so far are good - seems like a solid piece of kit, easy to set up and use. The manual advised on first starting up to check the firmware was up to date via a weblink. Strangely, the version on my device - 3.01.34 - is later than the one available to download on the support page, which is 3.01.26.
Still, tested it a few times and although I'm working on trust, the readings I've had would appear in line with what I'd been drinking and the timelines involved.
Overall, would recommend.

Alcosense

I liked the design it was very modern and sleek. My only issue is that it was not as sensitive as I thought but still said I was over the limit or not.

Accuracy is important.

I am a professional driver so my licence is extremely important to me.
I never drink alcohol if I am going to be driving later on the same day. I do, however, enjoy a drink once I have finished driving for the day. I limit myself to no more than 3 cans of beer in an evening and stop drinking at least 9 hours before I have to drive again.
I have always assumed I would be under the limit by the morning but I used my father's breathalyzer (£19 from Amazon) to check and was surprised to find I was still over the limit 9 hours after the last drink. I was very skeptical of the result and did a bit of research and came across Alcosense.
I bought myself an Alcosense Pro the next day and proceeded to enjoy my 3 cans of beer (drunk over 3 hours) before bedtime. I tested myself 45 minutes after finishing the last one and found I was still under the limit.
I feel I can trust Alcosense to give me a more accurate reading than my father's tester.
The Alcosense Pro is super easy to set up and use and I like the fact you can turn down (or off) the beeping noises as they get on my nerves.
All in all, it was loads more money than I could have spent but what is the point of having a tester so innacurate you will never trust the result.

Brought lite2

Brought lite2, great piece of kit, gives that peace of mind you are safe and keeping other road users safe too. Everyone should get one

Really nice bit of kit very accurate

Really nice bit of kit. Most importantly accurate! If anything the elite 3 edges on the side of caution by a tiny amount with results. I set it to mg/l (the police always use this ie uk limit 35 / 0.35…. Watching too much police interceptors on tv 😎)

Recommend!

Simply simple ,

Simplicity of operation both in functionality and set up makes this a great choice .
opps above opinion written just after setting up the Alcosense excel...unfortunately it seems like the unit I bought is faulty as it later gave a low reading just a few hours after consuming a bottle and a quarter of a 12.5% wine (impossible for given units to leave the bodys system that rapidly ...will be returning the product to the store (Halfords ) from where it was purchased - thoroughly disappointed

Alcosense Pro

Have used a small key chain breathalyser previously and as you can guess it probably wasn't the most accurate. So after much research I decided to go with the Alcosense Pro. Very impressed with it so far. A robust piece of kit which is easy to set up and use. I also do a lot of driving abroad, so the facility to switch countries and show readings against their specific blood alcohol levels is very useful to me.
