 Excellent breathalyzer December 1, 2008

After negatively reviewing and returning the BACTRACK breathalyzer, I ordered this one as a replacement, hoping for better results. Yes, it is a lot more expensive, but it works and it works great. It has several settings and keeps count of the total number of readings. So far it has seemed to be very accurate. The only minor downside is that although the blow time can be set from 3 - 8 seconds, it always resets to 5 seconds every time the unit is turned off and back on.
UPDATE (4/2/10):
Well this breathalyzer has become the hit of several parties. It's becomes quite the entertainment piece and is also a great way for figuring out who is wasted and shouldn't be driving. As with all breathalyzers, you do have to wait the 20 minutes to get an accurate reading. If you blow in it right after a tequila shot, your BAC will read really high since all that alcohol is right in your mouth and hasn't been absorbed fully into your bloodstream. However, this thing has recorded several hundred readings and is still working great. After you use it enough you get a really good idea of where you are on the scale and I can pretty much tell whether or not I'm over 0.08 without even blowing into it. I've done it enough so now I know. It has definitely been worth the money I paid for it!

The Alcohawk PT500 alcohol tester is as good as a much larger machine costing twice as much. I used
to have a much larger fuel cell machine until it was stolen out of my car when I brought my car to be
serviced.I recently bought the PT 500 from Amazon. The accuracy is listed as .005 + or - at 05%. I would
say it's probably more like + or - .001. It quickly always gives the same values and maybe down .001 as the
kidneys uses the alcohol. This machine is necessary if you drink and drive afterwards. A wonderful machine.
The PT500 is a great breathalyzer September 3, 2008

I ordered this unit through Breathalyzer.net and received it within 2 days of ordering and best of all, shipping was free! The unit works great, very easy to use and seems to be much more accuarate than other cheap models I have owned in the past. 100% recommended to anyone out there who drinks and has though about driving afterwards.

Easy to use, appears to be accurate and you do not need to blow as long as I did with my older and cheaper meter. Just make sure you wait after your last drink, for at least 10 min. And drink some water before the test. Alcohol traces in your mouth seem to really influence the reading and give a much higher result. But I think that goes for all meters. I recommend it!

I am very happy with the PT500. I had 2 on the past and this is as good if not better than my previous 2. I believe the test are correct. I would buy this item again!
