Normally always $129.99 on Amazon. I own one of these and can vouch for it. I'm not aware of a more accurate out-of-the-box consumer breathalyzer... and if there was one, it must be well outside of this price range. Manufacturer recommend having it calibrated once a year. As I recall, calibration wasn't particularly expensive, either.
  • #1 RATED BREATHALYZER BY WIRECUTTER - "After 65 hours of research, which included getting intoxicated at a police station to test personal breathalyzers alongside law enforcement equipment, we're sure the BACtrack S80 is the most accurate, reliable, and easiest-to-use personal breathalyzer that you can buy." - TheWirecutter, February 2017
  • POLICE-GRADE ACCURACY - Powered by BACtrack's platinum-based Xtend Fuel Cell Sensor, the S80 utilizes the same police-grade technology trusted by hospitals, clinics, and even law enforcement. These professional organizations trust BACtrack breath alcohol testers because they know they are getting the most accurate and reliable BAC results possible, every time they test. The S80 can detect trace amounts of alcohol, reliably handles high BAC levels and is accurate to the third decimal place.
  • SIMPLE, ONE-BUTTON OPERATION - The BACtrack S80 is extremely easy to use. Simply insert the two included AA batteries, power on your breathalyzer and begin testing. It's that easy. Your BAC results are displayed 10 seconds later on a bright, easy to read LCD screen. Should you want more control, you are able to easily change units of measurements and set user-defined BAC thresholds for testing. Blowing time is 5 seconds
  • DOT/NHTSA APPROVED & FDA 510(k) CLEARED - The BACtrack S80 was designed to meet the rigorous standards of expert alcohol screeners, from roadside law enforcement to hospital and treatment professionals. Designated by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation & National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as an approved breath alcohol screening device, the S80 has also been cleared by the FDA for personal use, making it the top choice of safety-conscious individuals as a portable home breathalyzer.
  • 30 DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE & ONE YEAR WARRANTY - BACtrack is the global leader in breathalyzers, providing the most accurate, convenient and affordable breathalyzers on the market, since 2001. We stand by all our products, but if you are unhappy with your BACtrack, you may return it any time during the first 30 days.

I've owned this for years, so I'm quite familiar with it. It CAN be calibrated; you're wrong.
It's the best that's out there - for consumers at least - right now. BACtrack charges $25 to calibrate a S80 breathalyzer. They perform a double blind lab test, and provide you an accuracy report, as well -- so you can get lab validation on just how accurate your breathalyzer still is. In addition, there is a 1 year warranty, and if it fails calibration within one year, then BACtrack will send you a new unit, free of charge. If it's out of calibration, and it can be calibrated, still, then BACtrack will attempt to calibrate it for that $25 charge. That's not a bad deal - $25 a year.

The BACtrack calibration process is a delicate one, requiring a trained lab technician in a controlled environment. Known alcohol concentrations are passed through the sensor to set baseline values for testing. Technicians ensure the unit's accuracy at all levels of intoxication.

But that's not all you get with a BACtrack calibration--we also run each unit through a full diagnostic test, which includes a mechanical check, an air flow check, and an accuracy check. After these tests are completed, the accuracy is verified with a double blind point-to-point assessment. Breathalyzers that pass this rigorous evaluation are then returned with a Calibration Service Report, ensuring that the breathalyzer has been thoroughly inspected and returned to you in working order.

If your BACtrack fails any of these standards and we can't repair or calibrate it, BACtrack Customer Support will work to get you a replacement--free of charge if it falls under our standard one-year warranty.

Fine. I'll be the party pooper.

If you need to check if you're too drunk to drive, YOU'RE TOO DRUNK TO DRIVE.

Agreed. Sad that this is even something that is needed. Even sadder that people have to send it back to hey recalibrate because it's used so much. Smh.

You really need one because someone texting might run into you and then you're automatically at fault.

Drink? Don't drive. Even if you blow below the limit, if they figure out you have been drinking and you are not at fault, you will be paying for life.
