AlcoMate Breathalyzer
According to a product description: AK Solutions introduces our flagship AlcoMate Premium breathalyzer, which combines professional reliability with extremely easy-to-use one-button operation. You can count on the Premium breathalyzer to serve all your personal and/or professional alcohol breath testing needs, as it is DOT Approved for law-enforcement grade accuracy and US Coast Guard Approved to satisfy the requirements of all marine vessels in US waters to have a breathalyzer-on-board. The Premium breathalyzer also incorporates patent-pending pre-calibrated replaceable sensor module technology to eliminate the need for calibration service, saving you the downtime and inconvenience, as well as extending the lifetime of the device. I have not been able to find online any objective, independent reviews of the AlcoMate breathalyzer. However, some retail sites feature customer reviews, and thee can provide useful guidance of the actual experience of using the product. At Amazon.com My wife and I have owned this for a few weeks and have used it a couple dozen times. It seems very solidly made and the readings seem reasonable, given our alcohol intake, and reproducible (within about a 5% range). A suggestion that seems sensible, although not in the instructions and I can't prove its importance, is to take in a moderately deep breath, hold it for 5-10 seconds, breath slowly out and then start to breath into the breathalyzer without stopping your expiration. And another: I did a ton of research before I bought this product and so I had high expectations when I received it. It seems to be very accurate as long as you have waited 20 minutes or so since your last drink (and it sometimes helps to rinse your mouth with water first too for more accuracy). It is very reliable and easy to carry in my purse and very lightweight. I'd reccommend it. Pricey, but a good investment! * Get the Latest Price on the AlcoMate Breathalyzer See also my report Guide to Buying the Best Breathalyzer. Check out Amazon.com December 5th, 2009
