- BACtrack C6 Keychain Breathalyzer | Professional-Grade Accuracy | Optional Wireless Smartphone Connectivity | Compatible w/ Apple iPhone, Google & Samsung Android Devices | Apple HealthKit Integration

I have purchased a few breathalyzers in the past and this one is by far my favorite. There are a few reasons for that, but the size is definitely number one. It is very small, connects to my keychain and does not feel clunky when in my pocket. This allows me to have it with me at all times as opposed to sitting on my counter when I am out and would like to use it. As far as the product itself... it came in very nice packaging and included a AAA battery, a user manual and three mouth pieces so you can change them between uses. There are two ways to use the product - stand alone mode and app mode. You can toggle between these two modes by holding the power button down for about 10 seconds. When in stand alone mode, you hold the power button down until it turns on and then release. There is a 5 second countdown and then it instructs you to blow. While you blow, the product beeps. When you are done, the product stops beeping and makes a clicking noise prompting you to stop. It takes about 10 seconds to calculate and then gives you a reading. App mode works almost the exact same way. You simply download the BACtrack app and when you open the app and turn on the breathalyzer it will automatically pair. The only difference is that you will control everything through your phone. There are a few extra touches when using the app. For example, it will give you an estimation of how long until you are alcohol free, explain the effects of alcohol at your current BAC and shows a graph off the BAC level of all users currently testing. There is also a way to share your readings with friends and some other social media related functions but I did not use any of these. In terms of accuracy, the product seems to be excellent. I of course have no way of testing this, however, the readings seem very consistent over multiple uses and multiple users. You do need to wait about 15 minutes after you last drink to get a truly accurate reading. I tried a few times to test immediately after a drink, or within a few minutes after a drink, and the residual alcohol on my breath caused an abnormally high reading. All in all this is a fantastic product. This is the fourth breathalyzer I have purchased in my life and, as I said before, this is definitely my favorite. Highly recommended.

I wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I do, but the BACtrack C6 has honestly been really solid. I mainly wanted something small and easy to carry, and the keychain size is perfect — I just keep it on me and don’t have to think about it. What matters most is accuracy, and from what I’ve seen, it’s been consistent. I’ve compared it a couple of times and the readings were pretty much in line, which gives me confidence it’s doing its job. It also warms up quick and gives results fast, so you’re not standing around waiting. The app connection is actually pretty cool too. I don’t use it every time, but it’s helpful when you want a better idea of where you’re at or how long it might take to get back to zero. Overall, it just feels reliable and easy to use. Nothing flashy, just works the way you want it to. Definitely a good buy if you want something you can trust and actually carry with you.

I didn't want to spend a lot on a alcohol-level reader because I wasn't sure how often I'd use it and not sure how accurate any of them are so I bought this one because it was the cheapest by the company that seemed reliable and because it was so small as to be easily carried around in my pocket and because it allows you to see your results and track your history on your iPhone or Android by downloading the app. Also, I figured it was an easy thing to lose while out drinking, so didn't want to spend a hundred bucks on it. Setting up takes just a second and you can charge it with the USB port, so that's fast. It's intuitive so you can pretty much go from there. To test it, turn it on and check; it should be 0.0. Start drinking - wait 15-20 minutes - and take your first reading. The number should go up, maybe 0.01 or even 0.02. The more you drink, the higher it will go; that's how you know it's working. As to accuracy, I think so. There were two of us and mine rose in level slower than his; I weigh 30 pounds more than he does so it takes more alcohol to get me drunk than him, I think, plus I have a higher tolerance due to heavier use over the past 40 years, lol. The most important things to remember, as they will remind you in the instructions, is that you need to wait 15-20 minutes after each drink to get a good reading; if you check your level earlier, your body hasn't absorbed it enough. Don't worry that if you don't take a reading right away it won't be accurate; it's the opposite: you need to wait for it to be accurate. (Sort of the opposite of waiting 30 minutes after eating to go swimming, lol.) Also, this is for fun; no guarantees that you're not drunker than they say. Also, remember that you're expecting levels to be 0.0x, not 0.x, know what I mean? In many states, a 0.08 level will get you a DUI. NOT 0.8. If you blow a 0.8, you're already dead. So if you want to get the highest number if you're out with friends and think it's funny to see who gets drunkest, stop at 0.14, not 1.4. If you blow a 1.4, you're already dead. The only problem I've had is I haven't been able to figure out how to get the tester to switch back from when you use the app to just getting the result from the tester. You should be able to test it both ways, I think; not using the app you should be able to just test and if you want to store results and get other information, you switch the tester to a different setting. It's in the instructions but haven't gotten to it yet. The results seem accurate - the numbers went up the more I drank. Again, wait before you test or you'll get a crazy number, and that number might be really high (I think because the alcohol is still partly in your mouth or something like that). Also, breathe deep before you blow. I don't think you have to breathe really, really deep, but even if you do, it won't affect your result adversely. The higher-priced products may be more accurate and/or give you more bells and whistles, so if you plan on using it often or for purposes other than just for fun (or, if you drink a lot all the time and want to have something reliable that might last a long time, buy those). I'm glad I have this; I should've purchased one years ago. It does make me more aware of the effects of each drink and now I can measure how my level changes compared to how I feel after each drink.

Prodotto corrispondente alla descrizione. Imballo ottimo. Pila AAA necessaria compresa. Corredato di libretto istruzioni non in italiano ma sul sito BacTrack si trova anche in italiano. Piccolo e di ottima portabilità. Volendo anche al portachiavi ma si rischia di graffiare lo schermo. Pare funzionare molto bene. Ottima anche la funzionalità tramite App dedicata gratuita. Il prezzo è un po’ alto ma se ciò serve a salvare la patente ed evitare incidenti la spesa può valerne la pena.

J'étais un peu sceptique sur la fiabilité de cet appareil, mais les résultats sont incroyables ! Je l'ai testé de façon intensive sur plusieurs soirées et les taux étaient tous cohérents ! Il faut simplement penser à attendre 20 minutes sans manger ni boire. Notez qu'il est possible de mettre le taux calculé à la norme française (mg/l), mais pour ça il faut passer par l'appli (heureusement, pas besoin de le faire à chaque fois). L'appli permet aussi de connaitre l'heure où l'on redeviendra sobre, et offre des statistiques diverses plus ou moins inutiles sur notre consommation.

Great product !
