        in a scale of 1 to infinity they rate about a 3

        in all seriousness tho, the ones ive tried were reasonably accurate (going by my own natural "accurate" internal breathalyzer) but if your thinking about using one to see if you can drive, if these things read .02 id be beginning to worry about really being over .05

    I won't neg this… but for anyone contemplating buying this to use as an accurate scale of their alcohol level has no idea on the complexity of these devices. There is a reason why the good ones (still not 100% accurate) are hundreds of dollars. Calling this accurate is complete false advertising. This is a gimmick at most and should not be taken seriously. Credentials? Police Officer.

  • Pr0XyD on 17/10/2013 - 21:03

    I have a similar tester from eBay which cist around $5 aud. once it came up as .18 after 8 beers. tested after 2hrs and got 0.0. suspicious indeed.

    also a pain to test. once u turn it on it warms up for 10sec and straightaway you have to start blowing for 10sec. (which is difficult). then it shows whatever the result it is and waits 10 sec before having to restart if you want to retest.

    just my experience with the same tester.

  • 2ndeffort on 17/10/2013 - 21:18

    For $6 it has to be more accurate than either 'dead reckoning' or the ridiculousness of trying to count your 'units' of alcohol in a given time period whilst trying mentally to cross reference against your Body Mass and how much food you've had to eat!! Sure I wouldn't expect it to hold up in court as evidence but I would expect that it will give me a better indication than any dodgy untrained medical calculations that go on in my alcohol sodden brain at the time!

    Credentials…none and in terms of working out if I have had too much to drink, that is the entire point!

    • gravel on 17/10/2013 - 21:45

      Sorry I don't get it. If you are buying this for fun no problem, who cares. If you are buying it to determine if its safe to drive then don't. Anon is 100% correct. The real deal cost around $800 bucks ( Ebay : 321224396317) This one might work 261203352344 . Even these have to be properly calibrated. A $5 Breathalyzer is not going to tell you are over the limit to any level of reasonable accuracy. Of course you can save even the 5 bucks and just adopt the approach - if in doubt don't drive.

      • 2ndeffort on 17/10/2013 - 23:15

        Is the $5 thing going to be more accurate than my rough calculations and guesswork on whether I'll be OK? Aside from when I have not consumed anything at all I will always be in doubt.

        If I have a single glass of light beer at the staff XMas party do I get a cab? I'm pretty confident I'd be well under and would probably drive but I have no way of really knowing. Might this gizmo give me any kind of rough ballpark estimate or am I better just winging it!

    • Saul Goodman on 17/10/2013 - 22:45

      What you suggested could even be more dangerous. The reading could be very below your real alcohol level, and being in a drunk state it might trick you into thinking that you are safe enough to drive home.

    • br3ttles on 18/10/2013 - 13:30
      +1

      I can vouch for the complete inaccuracy of these units (not the same but similar price range) and the danger associated with using them to gauge your intoxication. Smashed down two bottles of merlot last night, about 15 standard drinks in about 3 hours, and had a blow into one of these for shits and giggles only to find that I was apparently 0.025% BAC… safe to drive? I don't think so! Tested it 3 more times and each time getting around the 0.02% mark. I'm quite a large guy and usually can drink a 6 pack and be under but there is no way that these units can be considered accurate and this could have easily convinced someone to drive when they were certainly not in a state to do so.

  • jazzyman9182 on 17/10/2013 - 21:49

    Would these be any useful for telling if I have any slight bit of alcohol in my system?
    Just because I'm a p plater I want to be able to test the day after after going out if I'm alright to drive.

    • cyssero on 17/10/2013 - 22:08
      +1

      This won't be helpful at all. As a P-Plater you are expecting this to be accurate to .01 - not a chance. At least full license drivers have some buffer, you have none.

      I'm not advocating this to anyone but that applies 2x to P-Platers.

      I hesitantly recommend you use a BAC calculator and add a hefty buffer if you're thinking about driving the next day after a night out. They will all warn you of the wild variances too.

      • stewy on 18/10/2013 - 00:51

        The instruments the Police use would go down to 0.001 I believe (as 0.001 is their resolution), so you'd have to hope its as good as that…fat chance!!!

    • HoracePinker on 17/10/2013 - 23:10

      I have one of these and another different one and they dont detect below 0.015.
      I got it so i can tell if i am ok to drive in morning too. I did a few checks on it and i would say i did feel confident it would be within 0.01ish. I decided not to get the $150 one as i still would only trust it to the same level
      So basically if it reads 0.03 … i will wait half an hour and see if it drops.
      You do have to wait 20 minutes since you last drank/ate etc

    • Serapis on 18/10/2013 - 23:41

      When you get fined, maybe you should sue the company who sold you the device based on misleading or deceptive conduct… that you ended up with the fine due to the reliance on the readings on the device, which the company has stated as 'accurate' and that accuracy is stated to be '0.01% BAC& 0.1g/l' when this is in fact incorrect.

  • Ravine on 18/10/2013 - 00:01

    Don't buy this if you're seriously trying to find out if you're over the limit or not. This is a toy.

    If you're serious about getting a police grade breathaylzer, get one that uses a electrochemical fuel cell. Basically the same technology that's found in the police versions. I have one that cost $275 and needs to get serviced once a year to make sure it's still in working order. This stuff is actually super accurate and shows three decimal points unlike this which is only 2, barely enough to tell you how far gone you are.

    If you want a toy, get this, if you want something that works and is reliable, get something like a DriveSafe.

    • lead_org on 18/10/2013 - 02:17

      whoa that is some serious stuff. One must be always drinking then driving to demand such a device and its regular servicing.

      • DeWalt on 18/10/2013 - 08:37

        My guess would be that any device would require some maintenance/calibration. If you're breathing all over it, the mucus in your breath would stick/clog and give false readings over time. Calibration may be as simple as "disassemble these few screws, wash part x + y. dry. add oil to z. reassemble".

        • Ravine on 18/10/2013 - 10:57

          I'm sure it involves cleaning it too but it's more so using a known concentration of alcohol run through the machine to see if it gets the known reading. If not, then calibration is required through an external port in the back connected to a machine.

      Take it from someone who works in the liquor industry, those are crap machines in pubs / clubs. Do not rely on them.
