Junk
Don't waste your money. When it's not giving a "snr" error, it's always counting down and then when it gets tired, it starts counting down again! Did I mention that it counts down and then restarts! What a terrific count down timer!!
I figured it out. It keeps counting down, until your blood alcohol level get below .08! What a terrific gimick!

Useless
Useless product that doesn't measure well (I tested it and it gave a totally incorrect reading of 0 %). I would recommend against buying it.

Gets you in the ballpark of sober
I ordered this device because I was told that at the legal limit(texas) of .08 BAC, you dont even feel buzzed, and it can trick you into driving home "legally" drunk. This scared me no end as I always drive if I dont feel any effects!
So I the Alcohawk Elite and me and my friend took it upon ourselves to drink about 100 beers, testing with this device at intervals, in the name of science!
Turns out it works real well. I say this because it is consistent.
This tester is accurate to within + or - .01 points. That means if you are actually a .075 you will test somewhere between .065 and .085. This is a wide margin as you could test "legal" at .075 but be legally drunk in reality. However, it is consistent to within + or - .01. If you are at .075 in reality, and test repeatedly, you will blow say .072, then .069, then .070. So if you wait untill you are a little below .07, say .065, you know you are between .055 and .075, and therefore legal, but to be safe I always wait until I am in the .05's or less!
The warm up time is a bit long, but it is absolutley necisary for it to clear any pre-existing alcohol or you will blow too high, so its a good feature.
This device is great especially as an wyw opener. If I had a dollar for everytime I argued with someone who was trying to stumble out the door that they were too drunk, i'd be rich. But now when they proclaim in slurred tones " I know when I'm too drunk!*hiccup*" you can pull out you alcohawk and say "care to back that up?" It works too, they blow a .1 something, WAY passed any semblance of "legal" and they sit down and think real hard about how much trouble they could have gotten themselves into! I've done this many times now I love it!
Onw thing to be careful about: the breath sensor isnt perfect, you have to breathe deep and steady for 5 seconds or it is possible to "Cheat" and blow lower than you really are by blowing softly and not from the bottom of your lungs. If you breath right everytime it is consistent so don't cheat your own breath tester and blow it right!
In conclusion - this is usefull for making sure you are legal to drive, but you will have to be well below the legal limit to be certain, but the again better safe then sorry! Oh nad at .08, you feel real buzzed, I wouldn't drive at that point, so it is a good law!

Alco tester
I am happy with my purchase, but I must say this product deserves an ambivalent review. If it worked consistently it would be much more useful. I find that I often get a false negative result - a reading of "zero" when it should reflect some alcohol. Therefore, I have to question the accuracy of the results it gives when I do get a positive result. On the other hand, I have seen a fair amount of consistency when used infrequently (multiple uses seems to overload the system) and according to directions - the 20 minute wait between a drink and a test is absolutely necessary. I have to say I was surprised by how quickly I can be in the "danger zone" - better to take my own reading (and adjust my driving schedule accordingly) than to have the police administer the test!
