This thing works perfectly! It's bang on. I use it as a pretester if I had a few drinks the night before to make sure my ignition lock out will let me start my car. It also insures that I have a perfect record for the monitoring system. I really like how it will calculate your "sober by" time. You will need to use it a few times to get a better understanding of what your own personal alcohol absorption rate is. I find I get sober a lot quicker than the predicted time. This is a must have if you have a ignition interlock system in your car, not to mention it's fun to pull out at parties!!! One word of advice though, if you want an accurate reading make sure you follow the instructions and rinse your mouth with water before you blow into it. If you have had a few and blow into it while drinking it will give you some off the chart readings. I've blown readings while drinking that should of had me in a coma!!! lol
