AlcoSense Excel Bränslecell Alkoholmätare
Fördelar med Excel:
- 64mm2 Bränslecellsensor - mindre version av polisens sensor
- Nästan dubbelt så noggrann som prisbelönta AlcoSense Elite
- 48 mm TFT-skärm i fullfärg
- Fungerar med alla gränsvärden i världen
- Omkalibrerings-varning
- Prisbelönt produktdesignExcel är designad av AlcoSense i Storbritannien och använder samma prisbelönta utformning som AlcoSense Pro och Ultra. Det ger en bränslecell alkoholmätare i topp med enastående noggrannhet och funktionalitet.
Bränslecellsprecision
Excel använder en 64mm²-version av exakt samma 200mm²-bränslecellsensor som används i polisens alkoholmätare i flera brittiska, amerikanska och europeiska länder samt i vår AlcoSense Ultra. Många märken hävdar att de har “Polismätare” eller liknande endast för att de använder en bränslecellsensor. Men alla bränslecells sensorer är inte likadana... Sensorerna i Excel är identiska med dem som polisen använder, bara mindre. Det ger Excel oöverträffad noggrannhet på denna prisnivå.
Beräkning av andningsvolym med temperaturkompensation
Det mest exakta sättet att mäta alkohol i utandningen är att mäta den djupa lungluften. För att komma åt denna luft måste användaren blåsa ut 1 liter luft innan avläsning utförs. Om avläsningen tas för tidigt kan andningsapparaten ge låga eller inkonsekventa avläsningar. De flesta konkurrerande produkter på denna prisnivå förlitar sig på att använda en timer för att uppskatta när 1 liter luft har passerat. Men användare blåser med olika tryck, vilket innebär att den faktiska volymen som har andats ut, när mätningen görs, kan variera. Det leder till att mätningen kan göras vid fel tidpunkt och en felaktig läsning visas då för användaren.
AlcoSense Excel känner av andningsvolymen som andats ut under mätningen och gör avläsningen när 1 liter luft har passerat, vilket säkerställer den mest exakta och konsekventa mätningen. För att förbättra noggrannheten finjusteras avläsningarna efter temperaturen – så oavsett om det är värmebölja eller det värsta snöovädret på 30 år, kommer Excel att kompensera temperaturen för att säkerställa högsta möjliga precision.
Eliminerar felaktig avläsning med för lågt resultat.
Varje alkoholmätare har en noggrannhets-tolerans på +/- X.XX av avläsningen - ju lägre tal, desto mer exakt är alkoholtestarens mätning. AlcoSense Excel har en smart inbyggd programvara för att eliminera felaktig avläsning - dvs. istället för att ha en tolerans på +/- 0,1 ‰ BAC, är AlcoSense Pros tolerans + 0,10 ‰ BAC, -0,00 ‰ BAC. Det betyder att Excel alltid läser av resultatet som lite högre - än lägre - för att vara på den säkra sidan, resultatet är mer än dubbelt så precist som den prisbelönta AlcoSense Elite.
Bokstavligen alla gränsvärden i hela världen.
Med det enkla menysystemet kan AlcoSense Excel ställas in till valfri gräns, var som helst i världen. Du kan justera måttenheten för avläsningen mellan mg/l (andningsalkohol) och ‰ BAC (blodalkohol) samt promillegräns och andningsförhållande. Om du reser utomlands är allt du behöver göra att ställa in de tre parametrarna enligt tabellen i användarhandboken. Perfekt för gränspendlare eller till och med resor mellan hela kontinenter.
Prisbelönt produktdesignn
Vi är stolta över att meddela att AlcoSense Excel har vunnit German Design Award 2018. Produkten vann kategoripriset 'Medical, Rehabilition and Health" för utmärkt design.
Detaljerade resultat som är enkla att förstå
AlcoSense Excel har en fullfärgad 1,8 tum (48 mm) TFT-skärm som ger tydliga och detaljerade avläsningar av din alkoholnivå, allt efter ditt val – mätning av utandning (mg / L) eller blod (‰ BAC). Om du är nära eller över den valda gränsen varnar Excel dig att inte köra bil.
Minnesfunktion
Excel lagrar dina senaste 24 avläsningar i sitt minne för enkel granskning i ett senare skede. Om du behöver ett större minne eller vill ha datum- och tidsangivelser också – välj då AlcoSense Pro eller Ultra.
Grafiskt gränssnitt som är enkelt att använda
Excels programvara bygger på samma lättanvända plattform som de prisbelönta Pro och Ultra. Excel ger dig anvisningar och instruktioner på skärmen i ett enkelt och lättanvänt menysystem.
Bakgrundsbelyst "Twin" blåsrörsreceptor
Excel har en bakgrundsbelyst blåsrörsreceptor så det är enkelt att sätta i ett nytt munstycke även i svagt ljus. Excel fungerar med både “Pro” -munstyckena som har en envägsventil för att eliminera förorening från tidigare mätningar för att säkerställa ultimat noggrannhet eller de "vanliga" blåsrören som används av AlcoSense Lite och Elite.
Omkalibreringsvarning
Alla alkoholmätare kräver omkalibrering efter en period av användning. AlcoSense Excel har en branschledande kalibreringsperiod på 12 månader från första gången du använder produkten. För att förbättra tillförlitligheten och användarvänligheten påminner AlcoSense Excel dig om att kalibrera efter 11 månaders användning. När kalibreringen löper ut är det bara att skicka mätaren till oss så kommer vi att kalibrera den åt dig med hjälp av specifika andningssimulatorer som polisen också använder. Vi returnerar mätaren till dig inom 5 arbetsdagar.
Tempraturvarning
Om en alkoholmätare används under förhållande som avviker från mätarens normala driftstemperatur, kan du få felaktiga avläsningar. Temperaturen kan påverka kvaliteten på reaktionen inuti sensorn. För din säkerhet och din trygghet kommer AlcoSense Excel att varna dig om enheten används i temperaturer som avviker från 5 ° C ~ 40 ° C och påverkar kvaliteten på mätningarna (notera att driftstemperaturen är enhetens temperatur, inte den omgivande lufttemperaturen). Detta betyder att, till skillnad från konkurrerande varumärken, kommer Excel aldrig att låta dig utföra ett test om det finns risk att få ett opålitligt resultat.
Mättnadsskydd
Till skillnad från konkurrerande varumärken skyddar AlcoSense Excel dig också från felaktigheter orsakade av "Sensormättnad". Sensormättnad kan påverka alla alkoholmätare, inklusive polisens mätare och uppstår när extremt höga alkoholnivåer blåses direkt in i sensorn. Normalt händer detta när ett andningstest utförs strax efter att man har druckit, när alkohol fortfarande finns i munnen. Sensorn blir då överbelastad, och så kallad ”mättnad” uppstår. Avläsningar som tas efter detta kan vara opålitliga tills sensorn har återställs. För din säkerhet och trygghet kommer AlcoSense Excel då att gå in i ett skyddsläge som gör att sensorn kan återhämta sig innan ytterligare tester tillåts, för att säkerställa att potentiellt opålitliga avläsningar inte uppstår.
Garanterad kvalitet & tillförlitlighet
AlcoSense Excel tillverkas i enlighet med ISO13485, riktmärket för kvalitetssystem för medicintekniska produkter. Efter kalibrering testas varje enhet tre gånger. På så vis säkerställer vi noggrannheten innan den lämnar fabriken, vilket betyder att Excel är en enhet du kan lita på

Media Reviews
Bäst i test
“Alcosense Excel gav mycket tillförlitliga mätvärden i alla deltester, och luften till proverna tas från den djupa lungluften, vilket ger mer korrekta mätvärden. En del alkomätare slutar ta in luft från den som blåser för tidigt och då kan mätvärdet bli missvisande. Funktionellt är Drivesafe Elite på samma nivå. Men Alcosense Excel är en av de alkomätare i testet som har det överlägset bästa gränssnittet. Den kommunicerar tydligt med användaren både med hjälp av färgskärmen och den information som visas. Där visas till exempel när det är dags för nästa kalibrering varje gang du slår på den. Alcosense Excel är enkel att förstå och lätt att använda, om än lite tyngre än några av konkurrenterna.”

"If you are looking for a personal breathalyser, then get the AlcoSense Excel breathalyser...a high quality fuel cell breathalyser which has outstanding functions and accuracy to a sub-£100 price point."
We tried the AlcoSense Excel to find out how easy aftermarket breath testers are to use. The Excel seems like a lot but it can be reused as many times as you like. This means you don't have to keep buying cheaper one-shot breath test kits. Another advantage of the AlcoSense tester is you can easily adjust the limit to match the legal drink-drive threshold of whatever country you're in.July 2017 Issue of Motorhome Motorcaravan Monthly
“highly accurate and reliable, and has a compact and easy-to-use design. It features a slide mechanism

Den visar korrekta värden ( om man jämför med vad som borde vara rimligt samt vad andra alkoholmätare visar) viktigt är ju såklart att man följer instruktionen att vänta minst 30 min efter alkoholintag för att det inte ska bli fel. Den har även tydliga och lätta instruktioner på displayen och i instruktionsboken. Saknar förvaringspåse eller låda.

Var på jakt efter en alkomätare som var prisvärd och såg enkel ut att använda. Måste säga att denna produkten verkligen uppfyllde mina krav och önskemål. Jättenkel att komma igång tack vare vägledning vid första start som grafiskt visar på skärmen om val av språk, gränsvärde osv. Det som gör att jag inte ger 5 av 5 är att det inte medföljer en påse eller förvaring för alkomätaren samt att batterierna som medföljer inte är uppladdningsbara vilket vore mer miljövänligt. Annars är det en produkt jag starkt rekommenderar och testade mot andra betydligt dyrare alkomätare och de visade väldigt liknande resultat.

Excellent product. Originally from England but living in Scotland, the drink driving rules are different. If in England, there are times when I knew I was there or thereabouts being under the limit. In Scotland, totally different. What an eye-opener. I need my car for work around the UK. This product won't stop me getting into the car but clearly gives me the information to say whether or not I should get in the car to drive. Worth every penny, many thanks.

Very good unit. Expensive Calibration
by SiobhanPatz on 2019-05-06
-
It is a Very good unit which I use for the morning after just to check. Invested in the more expensive model. Year calibration for this is a minimum of £37 which is ridiculous for every year. I could understand a a lesser amount but if you need it back within a wrek its over £40 which is nearly half the cost of the unit for a unit thats then a year old. Shoudl advertise yearly upkeep cost alongside advertised pricing.

After recent purchase of product I "tested" unit over several evenings after drinking various quantities of wine. Despite drinking more than I would if driving the unit never went into the red i.e. over the drink/drive limit. I spoke to Carl at AlcoSense and after a very helpful conversation agreed to return the unit for it to be tested in house. This was easy as I live nearby to their offices. 5 or 6 days later I was contacted by David who advised me that after testing they could find no fault with the unit and we had a very informed discussion as to why I was getting the readings I had recorded. Unit was returned with no costs to myself. Just to be able to talk to 2 sensible people and receive first class service and advice puts AlcoSense at the top of my list of modern suppliers. More power to elbows guys.

My updated AlcoSense
by joanna meaden on 2018-04-29

I updated my AlcoSense as it was about 8 years old and this one appears to be superior . I like the reassurance of performing the test the morning after a night out even if you are sure you are under the limit! I have only used this a couple of times and it is certainly easy to use. I annoy overnight guests by asking them to check their alcohol levels before driving home in the morning , frequently resulting in me providing lunch later!

A very sophisticated instrument. Expensive, but notwithstanding this, I consider it likely to turn out to be good value. Not a pub toy and should be taken seriously by the user.

by Seadoo on 2018-03-01

I did a good bit of research on this. Very happy with the product. I have used it a couple of times and very impressed. As Im in Ireland, I had to change the settings in it to set the limit at the 50mg figure (it came with the 20mg limit set as I presume this is for Scotland).It gives you great piece of mind if you are driving in the morning after having had a few drinks the night before. One good tip I got from a colleague who bought a similar unit is make sure you get enough sleep between your last drink and when you jump in the car - after using his unit for a while, he learnt that having 5 or 6hrs sleep between the last drink and then driving was very close to being on the limit - but if you take 7-8hrs then the extra time makes a big difference! - obviously just get one of these and you will take away any doubt !!

Worth the money and quality easy to use unit..
by S. J. Huggett on 2018-01-26

Glad I decided to pay the extra for the Excel model as the fuel cell is the most accurate. The unit feels very good quality and is easy to set up. It's very easy to use and I have been experimenting and it seems to work very well.. I did buy the case for it after which is handy to keep it and a tube for protection but it's a shame a case isn't included for the price. One gripe is although you can update the software on the unit via a PC you can't if you use a Mac. Pity in this day and age there isn't an OS version of their software... Overall very happy and would definitely recommend..

by Rob on 2018-01-18

I've wanted a breathalyser for some time now, not because I want to proactively drink and drive (under the legal limit), but to be able to relax on an evening out without having to keep count of units of alcohol consumed over a said period of time. I also wanted an accurate breathalyser at a reasonable price. Having done some research on the types of breathalysers and how the different kinds work and their associated accuracy, this breathalyser was, in my opinion, a very reasonable price to pay to stay legal whilst driving. A motoring magazine had tested this kit in a laboratory and the results proved how accurate this machine is and that was an extremely important factor for me. The machine needs to be checked for calibration once a year for what I believe to be a reasonable cost, which brings me to the cost of the machine. What price do you put on your driving licence? A minimum fine for speeding is £100 and three penalty points. The cost of being prosecuted for drink driving is huge, not only financially, but is a massive inconvenience and takes away such freedom to travel so easily. For me, £100 is a small price to pay for such an accurate machine to give me peace of mind. It is easy to set up and use too. Forget buying cheap, single use breathalysers or cheap rubbish, look at this excellent piece of British Engineering (with British support), it's accuracy and reasonable price. What a great price to pay to keep your licence and possibly your job.

Super easy to use breathaliser

Bought a different make (£50), which is sort of OK, but only shows BAC and can't be changed. The excel on the other hand has a massive range of configurability. Very easy to use, and changing things is very simple. Set mine up in less than 5 minutes, including changing from BAC to mLitres per Litre of breath, which I believe is the measurement system used by the UK police. Although the excel could be considered expensive at £100, if it saves you and your licence, then the cost is a no-brainer!!! I'm still trying to find out if the excel is NF (France) approved.

As with any scientific instrument I need to trust the detail it provides, difficult to double check however it seems to do exactly as described. For me it isn’t the night I have been drinking, that’s a given, but when exactly the next day has enough cleared to be safe. Will keep it handy and use it occasionally. Note that it needs to be sent off for recalibration after a year which is a pain, would be better to take it in somewhere.

by Mr. M. on 2017-12-13

If you’re going to buy a breathalyser, it is because you want you and your family, as well as your driving licence, to remain safe. I read several independent reports and and learned that many products, although cheap, were simply not worth buying as they were too unreliable. The Excel model is not cheap, but it is value for money and a regular Best Buy choice for a simple reason; it is value for money. Invest in quality for something that is important, and you won’t be disappointed.

Should state that I already own several cheaper (and some not so cheap) other manufacturers breathalysers. Some i wouldn't trust to even be able to tell I was totally sober or drop dead drunk. Others kind work but tend to be inconsistent, and you are never sure if you are really clear or not. Many of these seem to slightly under read and are more accurate at lower levels (not what you really need)Then I bought an AlcoSense Excel. Well, this is the dogs dangly bits by far.

Needed to upgrade an old semi conductor breathalyser, this fuel cell one is recommended by auto express, however it was out of stock so I was sent the next model up at no extra charge, result! The unit is well made and easy to use, results of each test are clear. It comes with good and interesting info about how it works. Essential bit of kit for "the morning after" worrier.

by Nicholas Dodd on 2017-09-20

I bought one after doing some research and concluded that based upon what I read it seemed a good product. However, I have no means of verifying how accurate it is - just have to trust it. Having said that I don't drink and drive as such so this is to check the morning after and in my case has always shown clear. When I first started to research breathalysers I emailed AlcoSense to ask about the costs and process for re-calibration. They didn't bother to respond so that doesn't bode well as a measure of their customer service. When I first came to use it I couldn't get the blow tube to stay in the socket. It was only after looking very carefully at the socket that I realised that it had to be inserted at an angle. There is nowhere in the instructions that mention this nor any pictures to show it. The rest of the instructions are good and set up was easy. Overall it seems to be well made and easy to use - time will tell.

Easy to use. Good for checking alcohol level the morning after a night out. Interesting how quickly the alcohol level does go down...I had 3 glasses of wine over about 3 hours and would not have driven again that day but in 2 hours I was down to half the limit. (shortly after drinking I was just above the limit) However, I have no intention of driving after drinking that much but as we live out in the country and have to drive everywhere I do enjoy 1 glass of wine with dinner so am happy to see that my alcohol level has always returned to 0 by the time I have finished my evening.

I have only owned my alcosense breathalyser for a short time.The reason I purchased it was that I could not be sure when it was safe to drive in the morning ,having had some drink the previous evening.I found it easy to set up and use following the detailed instructions supplied with the unit.I have used it a few times now and feel confident to drive when it gives me the all clear as it is set to give a warning while 20 per cent under the set limit. I do not drive until it goes green.I feel the government should subsidize the purchase of these units for all drivers as many are criminalised through lack of knowledge. I would recommend this unit to all drivers especially if their livelihood depends on having a licence.

I've only tried this once since my purchase and used it the morning after only a few drinks so it was good to see that it confirmed my understanding that I was clear and OK to drive. I am now confident that I can ensure a potential late night out is safe in the morning as I regularly leave for work early. Easy to use and the write up about the units accuracy is why I bought this. Handy to have around for those occasional times when you are unsure the morning after and do not want to take the chance.

This breathalyser is a great device. It provides peace of mind the morning after the night before. Either it confirms that you are safe to drive or warns if you should wait. Have used it several times since purchasing in December 2016 and can find nothing negative to say for the price. Certainly better than friends cheaper devices and I like the fact that you can change the Alcohol limit if it changes in the future negating the need to buy a different device. Highly recommended!

Firstly, like many others, I was upgraded to the AlcoSense Pro model due to stock issues. I have to review what i received, although I understand that the functionality is very similar.It is a neat unit. Compact and quite solid feel. Instructions are good, but don't mention what the USB cable is for. I still don't know.I suppose like every other reviewer, I had a lot of fun testing! So I had what I thought was 3 units of wine without food, waited for 90 minutes and it said that I was still just OK to drive. I didn't feel OK. So I checked again every 30 minutes for three hours and the meter recorded gradual reductions.Next day I had a single bottle of 10 units over two hours (I told you this was fun!) and 90 minutes later, I blew red. Checked every 30 minutes and sure enough it dropped in gradual proportion. I dropped below red after four hours which surprised me.Testing is now over. I have one nagging doubt and it is that even though I can feel there is alcohol in my system, I seem to be below 20%. The gadget provides a sense of reassurance, but all the same, I wouldn't mind testing it against a police meter - not however, at the roadside!

Ordered the mid range model. Due to a delay in stock up date the one I had ordered was out of stock. The company very kindly up graded to a higher spec unit without charge. Very neat piece of kit. Easy to use. Just one tiny little niggle is that it needs re calibrating. Sure once that is resolved it will be very useful. Just don't want to rely on readings yet as it says that that may not be accurate until re calibrated.

Excellent machine
by Jim on 2017-06-18

I have waited 6 months to write this review, as appears to be the case for many other people I received the higher spec Pro version, for which I am very grateful, it was a nice touch to receive the model with the larger fuel cell sensor.It is difficult to come to trust a device like this at first because the reality is that people just don't know the real rate that their own body burns alcohol, this rate is actually fixed it does not matter how big or small you are the 'rate' is the same, however a larger person contains more blood so will read lower for the same number of drinks than a smaller person :)The burn off rate for a normal liver is 0.016% per hour that burn starts as soon as the alcohol hits your liver so even as you are drinking you are also metabolising it. People that have a drink problem can open up other metabolic pathways and burn alcohol slightly faster but that is not exactly something to be desired.This device can be set to display results using the 'per mille' symbol ‰ (parts per thousand), the limit for driving in the uk is 0.08% but the device will show its measurements as 0.8 with the symbol ‰ this is useful as 1.6 ‰ means twice the legal limit in England in my opinion it is easier to read and understand when set this way.So what does it all add up to, for me a device like this has to be accurate and quite simply that means you have to trust it, I bought some chemical breathalysers as well in order to do my own rough calibration, my results showed that this device is accurate and I have grown to trust it.The feature that allows you to set the device for other countries is a nice touch but really if I am at home in Scotland I know the limit is BAC 0.05% or 50mg per 100ml of blood which is less than the limit in England, so while nice it is not crucial.Physically after 6 months this device is still in good condition, it appears well built, it has used one set of 3 AAA Duracell batteries so far the second set are starting to run out now with the device showing 2 bars remaining power.like many other reviewers I too received an email asking me to review the device but this was actually about 5 and 1/2 months ago, I took my own time before writing this, for me it is a very definite 5 star device and many thanks to the company for giving me the upgrade to the better version, much appreciated.

Brand new device and calibration out of date
by pedro on 2017-06-15

I am hoping that this will be only temporary review as I have emailed the CS and awaiting their reply...Upon switching the machine on, setting country/date etc there is an alarm that the calibration expired on 30/09/2016 (9 months)It is surprising and disappointing at the same time as I have purchased the device directly from Alcosense.I have tested the device last night and believe that the readings were inaccurate.Between 7pm-10pm I consumed 2x 500 ml bottles of 6% continental beer & 3x 40 ml shots of 35% French brandy. Measurements taken at 11pm were as 0.54% and less than 0.2% at 5am in the morning. I would imagine that consuming 8-9 units of alcohol within such a relatively short period would definetely make me illegal/unfit to drive. I certainly felt like i would never get behind the wheel...And yet the machine showed Amber but still within the legal limit in England and Wales... Was over the limit in Scotland as the limit there is 0.5%Dear AlcoSense - Can you please reply to my email sent to [email protected] AND arrange for Free of Charge re-calibration considering that the device is brand new

I also received the PRO version rather than Excel.After initial concerns about the accuracy (i was surprised that my breath alcohol level below the legal limit). I have contacted the company and within a day i received an email from their Lab asking me to return the device so it can be tested. I have received comprehensive reply, free single use testers as addition, update and new 12 months calibration. Superb service and UK based business.Special thanks to Alison from the laboratory!My PRO version have been tested and confirmed that it is reading accurately and within the specified tolerances. Another thing i have found out is that around 80% of the population processes 1 unit of alcohol every hour from the body which is why it is the accepted average, the remaining 20% process either quicker or slower at up to 2 units an hour, some as low as 0.5 units per hour. I guess I am in the 20% :)THE RECENT UPDATE (released by AlcoSense) is that with any readings at 0.2‰BAC (0.09mg/L) or lower the unit will read LOW and will say that less than 0.2‰BAC or 0.09mg/L of alcohol has been detected and this is in line with BS EN 16280 – the British Standard for the consumer.

I opted for the cheaper model (Excel) and was pleasantly surprised when I received the Alcosense Pro at no extra cost; this was because the Excel was not available. I have used it for 2 weeks and have found it easy to use with intuitive controls/menu. I am a part-time delivery driver and it is important that I know my BAC before commencing work (my employer requires me to "self-certify" that I am not over the drink drive limit before I commence work so I can now use the archive facility on it to provide evidence in the event of a traffic incident while at work). It is also pleasing that this is a quality British product thus supporting UK industry against foreign competitors.

Fantastic & Accurate Device for Peace of Mind.
by vRS Stevie on 2017-06-03
-
Been looking at these devices for a number of years, the concern always being the morning after and not knowing if you are safe to drive or not, so always aired on the side of caution and arranged other transports methods just to be sure. Just to be clear, I am not using this device to make sure I'm just under, I want to make sure it is showing "Low less than 0.20 0/00 BAC" before I consider driving.Again as other reviewers I ordered the Excel model which has issues & was out of stock. Therefore the AlcoSense Pro was provided in its place. Which is the next model up and provided at the same price as the AlcoSense Excel. Which is a fantastic deal, and first time I have had this from any supplier, so many thx.Setting up the product was very straightforward and I have tested it several times and believe it is very accurate, which to be fair is vital as if it wasn't it would be basically useless. Plus you can set your own Country or manually enter the limit where you reside, which proves future proofing as the limits are reduced by Government.5 Blow Tubes are provided together with the batteries required, I also went for the case which is of good quality, but a little tight when you have the provided tubes in the same case, but does close easily.I too wasn't aware that the device needs to be re-calibrated by AlcoSense every 12 months, and has an re calibration date on starting up the device. But as stated earlier without accuracy the device is useless, so a hopefully minimal charge each year is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

I received the upgraded model
by D. Sanders on 2017-05-31

First of all I too received the Pro version. I also had an email asking for an honest review, which was brave of them because I had problems when I sent a device back a few years ago for calibration. Nonetheless that got sorted.I used to use an AlcoSense Elite, which was claimed to be top of its class. Eventually my first would only acknowledge you were blowing in it if you had spent the weekend downing 4 star. The replacement I bought when it couldn't be recalibrated aired somewhat on the side of caution; gave suspiciously high readings. I've also had an AL-6000 from somewhere which has replaceable sensors, but that was like a mate who wanted a lift home from the pub. "Yeah, you'll be alright" it was telling me after my twelfth pint and fourth G&T. I had another too but I lost that in a hotel in Blackpool. If you're interested.After waiting around all day to sober up from the mild session the night before I decided to try another. I bought an Alcohoot plug-in smart-phone device (about £70), with fuel cell technology. This too started well, but after about 50 tests it's started to fail to take a reading, or the app hangs. As someone who drinks a lot I decided to take a punt with the Excel. I was going to order the Pro, but after reading a few reviews here that others had been sent the pro after ordering the standard, I thought I'd take a chance and save £50. It paid off.The differences between the two seem to be the size of the sensor and the Pro has a flow meter to ensure an accurate sample and a "time till sober" calcuator.The design of the product is simple and clean. It fits well in your hand. The system boots rather quickly, and the menus allow you to change the BAC warning level by country easily. The valved mouth-pieces are awkward to get in at first, even harder when you're pissed, but it comes with time/sobriety.The display really does have a low resolution; like something out of a £20 iPhone knock-off, but it's not for displaying photos, it's to tell you whether or not you're sober enough to drive. It does this rather well.The unit displays your measured BAC content in mg/l, and the display background keeps it simple: Green is OK to drive, yellow for probably-best-leave-it-for-a-while-if-you-can, and red for "DON'T BE BLOODY STUPID BRUV!". Being able to easily change the limit by country (I believe the list is can be updated via the supplied micro USB cable) is handy if you're going on a continental pub crawl. It's also worth bearing in mind that Scotland has a lower limit than England, so even driving across the border could get you in trouble.A minor gripe is that the machine doesn't display a figure below 0.2%, I don't know why.I'm personally not a fan of the "Sober in..." display. It doesn't take body mass, level of activity or metabolism in to consideration. I suppose it's a ballpark-figure guide and nothing more.All in all, a useful, good looking device. Time will tell if results are accurate and if the machine is as reliable as it's brethren, let's hope it's better.

How do any of us really know whether we are above or below the legal alcohol limit to drive? Well only 5 days ago I bought the Alcosense excel and now I know. I do like a drink in the evening and always assumed I was well below the limit in the morning. I am ashamed to discover how wrong I was! I drive for a living and after using this device I am now aware of my limits. I cannot stress how much this device has saved my career and of course my driving licence. Some people may say £99.99 is quite expensive, I say you get what you pay for. I originally was going to buy the cheaper version, but after some research I am glad I chose this model. I wish I could have afforded to buy the best model, but this is still a brilliant piece of kit. When I purchased this I was not aware you need to have it re-calibrated annually at a cost of around £25, however I know this it important to keep the device accurate. Therefore I will pay this fee for peace of mind. I have told all of my workmates how great this device is and most of them never even knew it existed. A massive thank you to Alcosense for this brilliant product.

Nice piece of kit seems well built, portable and it's so simple to use, it even coaches you when taking your breath sample by stating how long and how hard to blow with two simple bar graphs on the easy to read screen, I have the AlcoSense Pro.The important bit, it tells you when you are over the limit for the country you are in! You set this in the menu options by choosing the appropriate country. Not only that it if you are over the limit it approximates how long you need to wait before you need to retest and safely drive again. Seems to me if you have a drink you need this!Use mainly for the 'morning after' but even if you have had a couple at lunch it would be worth taking a test, ditching the car and taking a taxi if you are over or near the limit, forget your licence you might just save your life or someone elses!One improvement? Maybe a leather case should be supplied as it's so portable you will be traveling with it quite a bit, lets face it we all drink a bit more when we go away, that hotel for the weekend and those couple of bottles of wine you had with dinner or that wedding you are going to, the morning after it might be worth a minute blowing into the breathalyser.

Just been using this for a few days. It replaces a previous cheaper model.It is extremely well engineered and easy to use. The display show you how hard to blow and hence I guess that this must improve accuracy.It is easy to set-up for different countries and is aware of the limits in each country.The only downside is that the blowing tube is separate which means that I need a case. My old unit had a fold out tube so I could just throw it in a suitcase when travelling. Good product, fast delivery.

I've tried a couple of the lower end BA meter and found them to be flakey and not even trustworthy enough to show a go/no-go level.In our family we all (four drivers) use a BA meter for the morning after, not to indicate how many more units we can get before we are dangerous.Be smart, don't drink and driver at all......Do use the Alcosense range to give you the 'all-clear' the morning after.

Very Impressed with this latest Breathalyser

As I live in Scotland, I purchased an AlcoSense Elite a couple of years ago when the drink drive laws changed. As a professional driver and with the drink drive limit in Scotland being so low, I have always been impressed with the AlcoSense Elite, however when I read that the Excel had just won the Auto Express best buy for 2016, I decided it was time to upgrade to the latest model – So far I have not been disappointed!

Excel model

Very prompt delivery. Setting up the product was achieved without difficulty and has been tested by myself and several friends. I believe this is a very sensible device to keep handy when entertaining at Home, or in the Car when going out for a celebration/meal.Sufficient Blow Tubes are provided together with the batteries required to operate the product.The only drawback, if that is a fair comment, is the suggestion that the product needs to be re-calibrated by AlcoSense every 12 months at a cost of around £25.00. No mention is made of the number of times the product could be used without calibration being necessary. That is something I will take up with the Company when the machine advises me, in 12 months time, that it needs to be re-calibrated.

After researching the market I chose this product as a result of its consistently being ranked the most accurate device available at an affordable price. I am not disappointed. It is straightforward to set-up and use, and its size is such that it takes up little room in my bag. The Alcosense customer service is excellent as they were out of stock of the model I ordered and sent me a superior product at no cost to me.

Quality, easy to use and reliable personal breathalyser
by Miguel on 2017-01-10

I upgraded from the Alcosense Elite. The device is a little larger than the previous model but still fits easily in a pocket (or the glove box). The Excel is easy to set up and to operate with clear on screen prompts to guide you (only afterwards did I think to look at the instructions booklet).Once set-up the device is simple to use with no need to delve into the settings unless you're travelling between different jurisdictions or just curious. If needed, the setting's menus are simple and straight forward to follow. The Excel powers up quickly (within 5 seconds) and does so silently (a nice feature compared to the whining noise of the Elite, which took about 15-20 seconds). Following a test the results are displayed with a large digital display (in the units of your choice BAC% or Mg/L) and a clear colour indication warning you not to drive as appropriate.The Excel comes boxed with 3 x AAA Batteries and four mouth pieces -although a pack of 25 at £10 is almost twice as much as the Elite "straws" they are much more robust and if limited to personal use can be washed and reused.Having read the Auto Express review (backed with a little science), and spent a little longer using the earlier Elite model, I am reassured that this is a quality product and one I am prepared to depend upon (the morning after) to protect my licence. Product was dispatched quickly and arrived within a few days.Disclosure: As an existing AlcoSense Elite user I received the Excel as a free upgrade in exchange for an honest product review.

Really Quick and Easy to Use - No Brainer
by Mrs. Amanda R. Axel-berg on 2016-12-27

As I had previously purchased the AlcoSense Elite, I was offered a free upgrade unit of the AlcoSense Excel in exchange for an honest review of the Elite.This are my experiences of this unit, the information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge at the time this review was written.Consult the user guide, manufacturer and your local laws for advise on alcohol limits and the driving law in your area.Do not drink and drive.PROS:- Easy to use (menu driven with three buttons)- Calibration before each use is very quick (takes around 10 seconds before it's ready to use, much quicker than others I've used)- High quality and easy to read screen (really impressed with this)- Very Good build quality (family member described it as looking like an Apple product)- Quick Response with Reading after test- You don't have to blow into unit for too long before it reads the result (Elite took quite a lot of time breathing into unit before it would analyse)- "Accurate" - Several concurrent tests produced the same or very similar results (also tested with a group of people)- Easy to know when not to drive - if within 20%-80% of drink drive limit goes amber, if within 20% of limit clear do not drive warning displayed- Unit powers on quickly- Unit can be updated via included USB Cable- Easy to change settings, if neededCONS:- The tester blow tubes can easily be lost (spares ARE included, however)- One result produced a wildly inaccurate result (the user had just had a drink before testing - AlcoSense clearly warn against doing this)After receiving an eMail from AlcoSense offering me a free upgrade, I sent off my existing unit and ordered I a replacement unit at no cost, which arrived promptly.N.B. I notice AlcoSense offer a discount on each of their models, if upgrading from a cheaper model (just send back your existing unit in exchange).The box includes the breathalyser, USB Cable, Batteries, Tubes for testing and the user manual.After opening the box and installing the batteries, I powered on the unit and was immediately impressed by how much better the screen is (high quality colour TFT Screen).The initial setup is very easy (and can be done without the manual!). You set the time/date and alcohol limit and unit type (will give you a country list for reference).To use it, you slide the top of unit up and insert a blow tube into the hole at the bottom.I tested the unit on a couple of occasions with both myself and my family over Christmas and everyone was impressed by the build quality and easy of use of the product.I also tested myself 3-4 times over 15 minutes to make sure the result was accurate and found the result initially returned the same result then slowly dropped.I would definitely recommend spending the extra money and going for this over the Elite, and would avoid cheap breathalysers!I've had bad experiences with cheap breathalysers in the past, but have been very satisfied with both the Elite and the Excel.Both units are small enough to fit into my glove box and storage draw in my car. I've kept both in the car and always use them the morning after to check I'm safe to drive.N.B. It's important that you don't test yourself for at least 45 minutes after your last drink as your alcohol level may continue to rise as your body will continue to absorb alcohol for some time after your last drink.It's also worth noting that if any alcohol gets onto the sensor it will give an invalid reason as the alcohol concentration is too high (and can damage the sensor).One family member blew a result of around 4% BAC, which was way higher than anyone else (who'd drunk more). He'd taken a drink just before blowing into it.However, after a minute or so, I tested myself again and found the result was the same as my previous result so it appeared not to have damaged or affected the unit adversely.It's better not to drive at all the same day and use a breathalyser for the morning after.You can get any of the Alcosense Breathalysers calibrated for about £20, so you know they're still accurate after a year.

Highly Reliable and Accurate Breath Analyzer!
by AC on 2016-12-20

If you are reading this review, I am sure you are looking for a Breath Analyzer which is reliable, accurate and provides peace of Mind. ALCOSENSE make some great products in this area. Their products are not only good, but they have an EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT and provide very quick replies to all inquiries.There are lot of breath analyzers in the market which are cheaper. These may or may not provide accurate results. DO YOU WANT TO USE A NON-RELIABLE BRAND AND RISK YOUR LIFE AS WELL AS LICENSE? I do not think so…. please do not buy something which cannot assure accurate results… as this nullifies the need to purchase a breath analyzer in the first place.The product from AlcoSense, looks great, has a nice screen, intuitive menu options and provides very accurate results. I recently bought and tested this myself and also my friends have used it. Everyone was really very impressed by this little device which provides assurance similar to Professional Grade Police breath analyzers.ALCOSENSE ALSO HAS NUMEROUS REVIEWS AND AWARDS FROM THE TOP REVIEW SITES WHICH AGAIN VALIDATES THEIR CLAIMS AND HELPS MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.Again, if you are looking for Breath Analyzers, invest and Get Alcosense Excel. And if you Budget affords get the Pro version. Take the Guess work out and Have a Safe and peaceful Drive. 10 Stars to Alcosense for their products!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and a MUST BUY!!

I owned the Elite Alcosense and was offered a free upgrade to Alcosense excel for an honest review.Arrived on time as promised. Well boxed and packaged. Compact and modern design. Measurements are L= 10cm, W=5cm, D=2.5cm but can carry in your pocket. It comes with batteries and five tubes. Setup takes less than 5 mins. If you read the clear instructions and follow as requested, you will not go wrong. Tried it after one drink followed by a coffee and 30 mins, came back with below limit as expected. Tried it on a friend after three drinks and it failed him. Clear colour readout and immediate result. A definite upgrade from the Alcosense elite.You carry this in your pocket or handbag. No guesswork required. I can drink and party without worry. Other plus points are that it can be setup for use in pretty much most countries in the world besides the UK.Well done Alcosense.

I received the AlcoSense Excel free of charge to review as an existing AlcoSense Elite user and I am really happy with it. The Excel is a big step up on the Elite, not only is it super easy to use but the higher accuracy of this model gives you piece of mind. I really like the display as you get a lot more information from it than what you got with the Elite. It's really quick and easy to perform a test, just what you want to check that you're safe to drive.

Excellent product. You know it makes sense !
by Amazon Customer on 2016-12-15

This is an excellent product. Not cheap but the accuracy determines the quality. I need my driving licence and the new alcohol limits here in Scotland have been lowered making drivers ultra cautious. I read the rigorous test results in Auto Car magazine and bought on the strength of that. Since then I have done a fair bit of testing out of curiosity to give myself a better understanding of BAC ( breath alcohol content) and the educative ,clear and instructive guide included helped greatly. The ability to easily change the various parameters for different countries is useful and simple. Why can't more products be this good. Honestly, I'm impressed. I am not an employee or shareholder in this company but will check and see if they are listed. I bought this breathalyser for the "morning after" especially this time of year( Christmas) but it has been useful in other circumstances too. We had to return to a restaurant as a friend had left his meds, after waiting the appropriate time , the breathalyser showed he was below the limit to drive and saved a costly taxi fare. It has a quality finish too, reminiscent of an apple product.

by Bronco on 2016-12-12

The Alcosense Excel is a Breathalyser that is well packaged, easy to set up (around 3 mins) and intuitive to use. Size wise - it's slightly bigger than the Elite, I guess about the same size as 2 decks of playing cards stacked on top of each other or just a bit thicker than a pack of cigarettes (does anybody smoke anymore?) so it can easily fit in your pocket, handbag or car glovebox.I've been using this product and the Elite for just over a month now - it's Party Season and I can't afford to take any chances with either the safety of others or my livelihood which depends on me being able to drive. It's been surprising/sobering to see just how much alcohol is in your system - on a couple of nights I've returned home (via taxi of course) and felt "absolutely fine to drive", I tested myself and on one occasion I was at 0.85 BAC so definitely not good to drive and on the other occasion I was under 0.5 BAC so legally able to drive in the UK - I couldn't discern the difference at the times with how I was feeling. This produce is marketed more as a "morning after" tool and to that end I was surprised when going back to our friend's house to pick up our car how much was left in my system from the night before - 0.28 BAC which was a good 9hrs after my last drink (it was a good night).So my advice is, take the guesswork out - don't risk being over the limit and driving... get one of these today. My family have been hearing me rave/bore on about these and have all asked for one in their Christmas stocking - which I'm only too happy to oblige.Cheers!BPlease Note: I received the AlcoSense Excel at a small discount to review as an existing AlcoSense Elite user. I've decided to keep both and I can recommend both, they each have their separate price points - the differences as I see them are... Excel is: slight bigger; easier/quicker to set up (can be used straight out of the box whereas Elite requires you to activate the sensor with a small bit of alcohol); has a better display (colour); is slightly more expensive to service £25 compared to £20 (annual service recommended).

Like many, I have upgraded from an Elite to the Excel and I am certainly not disappointed. Whilst it is a slightly larger unit, it is still compact in the using and transporting sense. A lovely piece of kit which certainly does the job with ease. The whole offer is superb - the packaging is great - the style and finish of the product is excellent and the instructions are so clear - a delight. It is really nice to come across a product and a company that deliver a great product and service. I assume, with great confidence, that the product does the job. It is a reassuring product. Thanks

I got this to replace an AlcoSense Elite I’ve had for many years. I went ahead and got it after seeing the Auto Express group test it won last week. I’m not disappointed at all! It’s a great bit of kit and a big leap from the Elite model I previously had.
Pros: The design is nice, screen easy to use and the alerts clear. The menu is easy to use and straight forward. I can’t test the accuracy scientifically but it seems exactly where I would expect it to be from experience and the readings are very consistent and repeatable, however, Auto Express tested the accuracy scientifically and it came out top so that’s good enough for me!

Accuracy, that's the big question.I've been looking for a Breathalyser for a while as I have been worried by the "Morning after" risk. I don't drive the day after if I have been out on a night where I have a lot to drink but hearing people quoted as saying "I felt fine but I was over the limit" was a concern, I wouldn't drive unless I felt fine but what is my actual Blood alcohol level? Looking at items on market, very few quote accuracy, this brand does and also offers a re-calibration service! So then it was cost. Having personal experience of Fuel Cells they are a recognised method of measurement, so this offered the best value for money for me. The item is quite chunky and solid and offers a PC connection for results.In this time of "You get what you pay for" this offered me the best balance of Cost vs Do you believe what it is telling you? This made sense.
