breathkey review August 30, 2008 Boris Crowther 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
if you like breathalyzers and you want one you can rely on, do not buy this product, buy a real full size breathalyzer. trust me, just because its small and it fits on your keychain does not mean this product is worth it. ive used it side by side with a professional breathalyzer; the results were dramatic. the breathkey was always under the correct result. if you purchase this product DO NOT use it as a means of deciding whether or not you should be driving. it is a novelty item, like all other keychain breathalyzers.
Reliable and Economical Peace of Mind August 27, 2008 Amorak I am very pleased with this device. It has worked flawlessly and provided consistent and accurate results...All of this at a very affordable price. Its compact size makes it very convenient to discreetly keep on hand in needed situations. Definitely worth the investment!
BreathKey August 18, 2008 D. Connitt (Cincinnati, OH United States) I have always wondered what a BAC of 0.08 was for me. I am not a heavy drinker but the only other way to find out that I know of is through our legal system and I have no intention of using that path. After receiving my BreathKey, I did a few experiments and discovered that 0.08 is way lower than I thought! Great product!
I'm a drinker... July 31, 2008 Andrew Arnold (Simi Valley, CA) I'm a heavy drinker. I bought this unit based on it's reviews for it's accuracy. I'm disappointed. Granted all (I've done my research) commercial Breathalyzers I've researched seem to have their quirks- take a deep breath then blow slowly, don't inhale then blow normally, etc. I don't even know at this point if police breathalyzers can be considered legal, because they all, at least the commercial ones, seem to come down to these rules- you can't consume any alcohol, food, drink or cigarettes within 20 minutes of the test. Now, as I've said, I'm a heavy drinker, and I'm 43 years old, but I've never had a DUI, or any alchol related encounter with the police... but based on this weird 20 minute rule, I'm going to assume that the police can't even give you a breathalyzer test until 20 minutes after they've stopped you... does anyone know if this is what they do?
pretty cool July 2, 2008 Mr. Fantastic (Greensboro, NC) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I really like this product. it does what is says it will. It's pretty cool to quantify how drunk you are, to see how fast you get drunk, and most useful how quickly you sober up. By the way the upper limit of .2 is plenty high. I love this thing. At first I was a frustrated that "lifetime battery" meant you just can't change it, and it will last a few years. I've heard from one of their representatives that if you send it in for recalibration, they will replace the battery, which you cannot replace yourself. So that is inconvenient, but not the worst thing ever. After hearing this I've edited my review; however, I cannot edit my star-rating. Oh well.
