That is exactly what I was looking for.

It’s very easy to use as you push the button. It turns on takes three seconds you blow into it for eight and then it gives you a calculation. It’s a high-quality in the battery does see the last quite a while. It also sync with your phone so you can track your BAC as you wish. Read more

Purchased this device to prove a point. Point made. Easy and intuitive to use. Comes with a few mouth pieces. screen is large enough to easily read in daylight and low light environments. Not for use immediately after consuming alcohol (while your mouth still is lathered in whatever you're drinking). NOTE: Do not recommend giving to immature adults for drinking games after its intended use was completed. Allegedly that is a bad idea. Read more

The BACtrack C8 Breathalyzer is marketed as a professional-grade device with optional wireless smartphone connectivity, boasting a compact and convenient size paired with a sleek, modern design. Its portability is a definite plus, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag, and the aesthetic is appealing for a breathalyzer, with a polished and user-friendly look. However, the core functionality—accuracy—falls significantly short of expectations. Despite its professional-grade claim, the BACtrack C8 delivered wildly inconsistent readings during testing. Over a span of five minutes, I conducted five tests using consistent breath pressure, yet the results varied dramatically, with differences as high as 0.075% BAC. Several readings incorrectly indicated an over-the-limit BAC, while others failed to provide a reading altogether, which raises serious concerns about reliability. This level of inconsistency undermines the device’s purpose, as precise and dependable measurements are critical for a breathalyzer. While the optional smartphone connectivity is a nice feature in theory, it doesn’t compensate for the core issue of inaccurate readings. For casual use, the BACtrack C8 might seem like a fun novelty item, but for anyone needing reliable, accurate BAC measurements—whether for personal safety or legal purposes—this unit is not up to the task. I would recommend looking into alternative devices with proven accuracy and consistency. Rating: 2/5 – Sleek and portable, but unreliable readings make it unsuitable for serious use. Read more

I was looking at purchasing a BAC device for a few years. I was hesitant to spend the money, fear it wouldn't be reliable, and if I thought I had too many then there really wouldn't be a need for proof. Well, we had a friend who recently received a DUI when they didn't believe they were over our state's .08 limit. They ended up having to get a device installed in their car that keeps the car from starting unless they were below .02. They supplied them with a portable breathalyzer to make sure they were low enough before attempting to blow into their car device. I started using their breathalyzer to keep an eye on my level, out of curiosity. The strange thing is I kept creeping over the legal limit when it didn't feel like I had much to drink at all! So I decided on making the decision that I needed one of my own. I compared the C8 to the one provided to our friend. The readings were the same measurement to the 100th and over many tests throughout the week. The same, every time! Now, I make sure I don't get that last alcohol drink, drink water and let time pass before I drive. Now I have proof I am over, even though I don't feel like it. It's so true... you can't tell when you reach the legal limit! I am so glad I purchased this before something bad happened to me or anyone else! Also, important note... To get the reliability of any BAC device, you need to wait at a minimum of 15-20 minutes BEFORE you test or the alcohol on your breath will throw it up and out of range. Thanks, BACtrack! I highly recommend this product for reliability, portability, and ease of use! I keep this with me at all times and if I forget it at home, I don't drink. I learned that I can't trust a feeling over being over the legal limit and need absolute truth! Read more

Great product, very accurate. I tested this before and after drinking. It does work Read more

People LOVE this thing. I take it out at a party and everyone wants to try it LOL. I think i'm friends with a bunch of alcoholics.... Easy to use. just say to people "read the screen and follow instructions. blow until the whistle stops" they're usually drunk but that line gets the point across needs to be sent back in for maintenance every 1.5ish years. otherwise it starts to drift on accuracy.
