Product Description
The AlcoMate Prestige is the world's first breathalyzer that features patent-pending Pre-Calibrated Replaceable Alcohol Sensor Modules. Typical breathalyzers must be mailed to a service center for periodic calibration (at least once yearly) at the expense of lost time and gradual sensor degradation. The Prestige avoids these problems by offering "Do-It-Yourself" Replaceable Sensor Modules, which save time and money and ensure the most accurate results every time. Approved/Certified by the DOT, NHTSA and FDA. Law Enforcement Grade.

 know what the police know August 30, 2010

The AlcoMate Prestige is the best product for the money. Cheaper units require recalibration. More expensive units are not necessary for individual use.
All drinkers should have a method for measuring of their blood-alcohol levels. The AlcoMate Prestige is easy to use, small enough to travel in a purse or glove box, and accurate. You wouldn't want to drive a car without a speedometer. Sure, you might be able to reasonably guess your speed, based on other cars on the road and other factors. The police will measure your speed using a digital meter. So of course, you expect to equip your car with a similar device to know if you are legal or if you are breaking the law.
The ramifications of driving while under the influence of alcohol are far greater than the ramifications of speeding.
If you drink alcohol and drive, don't go without this important gauge.
Works great! May 3, 2010

It does work, I don't know how to read the numbers but I use it for my teenager and it does work! I tested it on myself several times.....

This is an excellent product for anyone who is trying to enjoy a night out responsibly. This shows you when you are over the legal limit for alcohol. The tester comes in a nice case so that it does not get damaged. Haven't had any problems since I owned this.
 Seems to work great March 5, 2008

I purchased this as both a test for those nights after extended dinners to better understand if driving is a good idea or not and as a novelty purchase. It seems to be pretty accurate. The key is definitely time between your last drink and blowing. Blow right after a drink and you're going to be way high (which is probably better than reading low). How it compares to a legit cops breathalyzer, not sure; but it does give a good enough read in my book.
What has been very interesting is to see what you blow after a hard night of drinks. I was amazed to see how close to not legal I've been even after a good 8 hours sleep.
As for novelty, everyone loves it! I'd purchase it again. Use and play with it but please do so safely.
handy and easy to use January 27, 2008

I bought one of these for a friend who had suffered a DUI and couldn't afford to get another. We use it when we've been out to a party or drinking after work and want to know whether it is safe to drive. There's been more than once that we went back inside to "cool off" for about an hour before driving home because this thing read over the limit. I certainly didn't feel like I was impaired - it is pretty surprising just how low .08 really is. For me, that is about two microbrews and my friend, three. It does make a big difference whether you've eaten much that day as well. I think the people complaining about this device either aren't following the directions, or aren't willing to believe they are over the limit when they really are. I've never gotten a 000 reading after having anything at all to drink, but have tested it without drinking and every time got 000. Follow the simple instructions and it will work for you too.
