Customer Reviews of AlcoHawk Pro: Professional Edition Digital Alcohol Detector
Customer Review: Good for a little while...
Summary: 2 Stars
Greatest 21st bday present ever.
Except when it gets over-used. The company has a service by which they recalibrate it (for $20) if it has been used too much and isn't reporting the right levels. I have only used it moderately (occasionally with friends and always per the instructions), but the levels it reports now are through the roof and very inaccurate. I have sent it in twice to get serviced, and within a couple uses afterwards, it was bad again.
Other issues I have with it: the button gets pressed very easily, even through the case, which causes it to beep.
Customer Review: Play it smart!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this breathalyser because I never really knew how many drinks it took to be over the limit. DUI is vicious and extremely expensive. Not a risk I was willing to take anymore. So, now I know when it's safe to drive. It works great. I leave it in my car and use it weekly (along with most of my friends...usually for fun). So, if you have ever wondered where you were "legally" at, here's the answer. Don't get a DUI, it's stupid and not worth it. Spend the money on this thing! It's a good investment. P.S. If your wife is like mine, she'll be thrilled!Customer Review: Decent Breathalyzer
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't drink to often so when I do it's hard to know my limits. This thing really helps. However I found that you really have to wait a while after your last drink before it can get a good reading. Once I blew a .04 then 5 minutes later I blew a .09!! I trust this thing works though. It does warn you that you should wait about 20 minutes after your last drink. I would wait longer though. It was worth the money for me. You should send it to be calibrated every 6 months though.Customer Review: Makes Parties Interesting!
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a lot of parties so I purchased the breathalyzer to make sure people are safe to drive home. It is also fun to use just to measure alcohol content consumed. The item seems to work great however, be sure to wait the 20 minutes after drinking and eating before blowing into it. If you don't wait, it can cause the device not to work properly and you will have to send it in for recalibration. It only costs about $20 to recalibrate but it can become an inconvienence.Customer Review: Bad product at a bad price
Summary: 1 Stars
I would tell anyone looking at breathalyzers to pass on this product - it is too expensive for a deeply flawed device. I was looking for a serious tool to keep friends and family from driving after drinking too much, but this isn't it; the AlcoHawk Pro requires a minimum waiting period of 20 minutes after eating or drinking to take a measurement. Even then, we get error messages about half the time.
Save your money and take a pass on this one.
