Correct.
I am far from a prude, and very much enjoy a drink, but I don't find it difficult to make a decision ahead of time about how I will be getting home, and behave accordingly.
Cheaper on ebay via Catch
You have to pay postage with Catch.
To be honest I didn't notice because of ebay Plus.
But, you have to pay postage with Dick Smith too.
Link?
and don't forget to PLAY5 promo to take 5% off, brining it to $74 delivered.
IIRC all breathalysers need yearly calibration.
Calibration is not cheap.
Meaning that portable units are barely worthwhile as anything but a rough indicator. And a rough indicator doesn't hurt to have, but is probably not that useful.
It used to cost $25 at anandtech but now I think its gone up a little bit.
Calibration is about $45 + postage and needs to be done regularly (every 6 months at a minimum). Not really worth it.
Or flog it off on Gumtree every 12 months and get a new unit?
gumtree people are not smart enough to understand the difference between this and a $5 device.
thats so true
Maybe that was a joke, but if it wasn't you're a remarkably selfish tool.
If you need one of these it's probably time you consider giving up drinking alcohol, you have a problem.
How does that make sense?
If I go to a restaurant and get a drink that has alcohol in it, that alone can be enough to be me over the limit for a certain amount of time.
Its hard to know how much alcohol are in drinks you order.
Isn't it the OzBargain way to drink at home anyway?
And a true OzBargainer will be drinking their own homebrew as well.
BACTrack have tested to be a lot more accurate (because it uses fuel cells rather than semiconductor sensors)
I have a BACTrack S80 Pro and it's great! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182626738281

How about the calibration process?
I've read many people complaining about that…
Have you had/used it for a long time?
I've had it for about a year.
Send it back to "Breathalyser Australia" (distributor) for calibration - eBay store seems to be the official distributor. Calibration is $55
https://breathalysers-australia.com.au/information/breathaly…
Once you purchase a breathalyser from Breathalysers Australia we will track the units serial number and run it through our calibration monitoring >program. This will trigger us to send you an email to remind you as the unit becomes due for recalibration so you don’t have to worry about missing the >time frame.
For electrochemical fuel cell sensors; BACtrack S80 Pro, BACtrack Mobile Pro, and BACtrack Trace Pro the cost is $55 inc GST. This also includes airway <servicing and the pickup and return courier to and from Newcastle, NSW.
$55/year for re-calibration
I can get a carton of beer for that
Or maybe don't drive if you've been drinking…
