It's very easy to put together and comes with a nice assortment of tips to use to gauge your BAC levels. As one other customer review excellently pointed out the manual that comes with it describes some things well such as what the BAC level means and overviews what the outside buttons do. However, it does poorly mention how you have to blow into the device for more than 11 seconds and wait for it to click in order for it to display your results. If you stop too soon, then you won't get a reading at all and it makes you seem like it's defective but it's not. You just need to blow into it longer than 11 seconds and wait for the feeling it gives you in your hand. It will feel like the device has just clicked or activated then you'll get your test results. I've tried it quite a few times and the readouts are pretty accurate based on how intoxicated I was. I do recommend this product it's a solid purchase and works well, but I just wish the manufacturer did a better job of explaining its operation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by on Reviewed in the United States June 24, 2026* Great alternative to a ovi. Can be a little tricky to blow but when you get the blowing strength down it is easy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice device *by on Reviewed in the United States July 8, 2026* Seems like a nice device. Easy to use and stores in a nice pouch. As a test I swished some Listerine mouthwash for a few seconds, a few minutes later I registered an intoxicated .1% !!! ## Frequently Bought Together - BACtrack Element Breathalyzer | Professional-Grade Accuracy | DOT & NHTSA Compliant | Portable Breath Alcohol Tester for Personal & Professional Use - BACtrack Professional Breathalyzer Mouthpieces (20 Count) | Compatible with BACtrack S80, Trace, Scout, Element & S75 Breath Alcohol Testers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1114870-element-breathalyzer-professional-grade-accuracy-dot-and-nhtsa-compliant-portable](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1114870-element-breathalyzer-professional-grade-accuracy-dot-and-nhtsa-compliant-portable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
