Pros: It's very easy to use. I has only one button. It's not enough to make it worth.
Cons: Too bad accurance. It's a cheap gadget. The display of mine is twisted and gets blurred when I blow it. You have to wait 10 seconds from turning it on to use it.
Other Thoughts: I've just tested it. I've drunk about 50ml of Vodka and blew it immediately. In first time it seems to be working well, it shown 0,05 % BAC, but in the second time (less than 2 minutes after) it has shown 0,01 and then 0,00! It's impossible less than 10 minutes after drinking vodka!
Bottomline: I think it's not a good purchasing, even though it's very cheap. Maybe other models could be a better choice.
Very stylish, but bad accuracy

Pros: In my opinion it looks very stylish and neat. Size is conveniently small.
Very easy to use.
Digital display to show how many promilles you have.
Build quality is good.
Cons: At least the one I got has very bad accurary. I can be fairly drunk and the device shows very low amounts of alcohol.
I don't trust this gadget at all. I also anpother, a key chain type of breathanalyser and that seems to be much more accurate, even though it was cheaper.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Looks good, but does not work very well. That said, individual gadgets can be different.
It seems to work okay. Don't know if is precise.

Pros: - The display is easy to understand.
- Includes wrist strap.
- Cheap!
- Includes manual.
Cons: - No batteries included.
- When blowed too close, the dispay get "blur" and hard to read.
- Maximum BAC is 1.9%. Can't go even further.
- If you just drink, wait some seconds before blow, because there is alcohol in your mouth.
Other Thoughts: - Instructions:
1. Press the ON button until turn on (bip emits).
2. Wait for 10 seconds for warm-up (bip emits).
3. Blow air from your lunges, slow, the maximum time you can resist.
4. Check the results! If you are drunk, many bips emit!!
Bottomline: - Because of the price, its worth to buy.
- I got three of those!
Good fun!

Pros: - The display shows an actual numeric readout.
- Seems accurate enough. I've tested it only a few times though.
- Includes a nice wrist strap
- Its really cheap!!
Cons: - No english manual! Actually there isn't english anywhere!
- No batteries included
- When I blowed too hard and had my lips around the "air hole", some moisture got inside the device and now the screen is harder to read.
Other Thoughts: It needs two AAA batteries, not included.
Since theres no manual for it...
HOW TO USE:
1. Press the power button once and keep it down for a second.
2. Wait for 10 seconds (warm-up).
3. Blow air to the other end for 10 seconds. Dont let your lips touch the end of it.
4. Check the results!
It shows the % BAC and g/l
Bottomline: Well it seems to work okay. Because of the price, its worth to buy. It's a good gift too! I gave one to my sister.
Remember, kids! Do not drive while being drunk!
