Product Reviews of Alcohawk Precision Digital Alcohol Breath Tester
Product Review: Not bad for a cheap tester
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not sure how accurate this unit is, but it does seem to detect low levels of alcohol. It is easy to use.Product Review: Pretty solid but shares limitations with other Breathalyzers
Summary: 4 Stars
Nearly two years of ownership and it has been a great purchase. I have no shame dorking up my drinking. Use to ensure legal driving or for ill advised contests. Also determine what at what BAC memory gets spotty (what point is there exceeding that?). Fun to call out big talkers who don't suspect you are packing a lie detector of sorts. Also useful to get people off your back who think you are too drunk to drive.
Pros
precision to third decimal place. rare at this price at time of my purchase
Very repeatable with consistant deep breath
Small enough to take to bars in jacket pocket or cargo pockets. Light for its size.
Cons
Innaccurate if sips have been taken within 10 minutes or so. True for all breathalyzers. Drunk idiots have tough time getting it through their heads
Warm up/calibration time ~45 sec. Another let down at parties but perhaps key to accuracy
Would be nice if it was more pocket sized
Chirps at you alarm clock style if above .08 "I know I'm drunk, shut up!"
Product Review: Quite Handy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday, and he loves it. We took the train to the city one night, and thought we were fine to drive by the time we got back to the station. Just to be sure, we tested ourselves. Sure enough, we were both a little over, so we took a nap in the backseat until one of us was good to go.
It's also a fun toy when you want to guess who will blow the highest percentage, or to test yourself the next morning to see if you still have alcohol in your system. :)
The only annoying thing is that you have to wait about 15 minutes after consuming alcohol to use it.
Product Review: So far, so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a 25 year old college graduate working full time who was looking for a novelty breathalyzer that would tell me exactly how drunk I really get. I've had the product for about a month now and it seems to work well. I've tried it a couple times with a few different people and the results seem accurate. I've seen some random errors popping up when different people use it but that's because you have to get familiar with the blowing part. Actually, last night I got an error that said SHT. I think it was taunting me. Maybe next time it will say FCK.
It took me a while to finally pick a model. There are a lot to choose from on Amazon and they all seem to have limitations. I didn't want to get one cheaper than this because if I'm going to buy one of these, I want it to work. If I had more money I could have got one of the fancier ones but they seem like overkill.
You don't need to buy a bunch of those clear tubes. They can be reused (or at least that's what I'm doing with them).
Last nigth I blew a 0.165 and 12 hours later I was still registering at 0.07! Wow, that was eye opening. Time to go sleep off this hangover.
Happy drinking!
