Customer Reviews of AlcoMate Premium AL7000 Breathalyzer
Customer Review: Takes Forever
Summary: 2 Stars
I have no problem with the accuracy of this product. It seems to estimate BAC from breath great. I do have a problem with how long it takes for you to get a measurement. It takes about 2 minutes to take a reading. That's a long time compared to the older version (30 seconds). Since most people want an average of 3 readings. That's 6 minutes. It's almost like they're trying to make you wait so long that you sober up. I liked their older version better.Customer Review: AlcoMate 7000
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a HUGE believer in the concept of an accurate, personal breathalyzer. I ordered this unit after my AlcoMate 6000 broke. I am giving this unit only one star because it worked accurately for three months, then approximately every 5 tests later, the unit would say "bat". That means the unit would need replacement batteries in order to use. I even went so far as to buy the new Energizer batteries made for todays electronics...STILL did the same thing!! I am going to try the fuel cell type now as I cannot depend on this unit. It would also give off inacurate readings from time to time. The unit is made of plastic with a thin silver front. I did research the whole cost comparison of re-calibration 19.95 once a year vs. the PRISM replacement sensors. I think the replacement sensors were 29.95 each and good for 200 tests. Seems to me the once a year re-cal is the way to go on this one. Even the breathalyzers police use need to be re-calibrated so the process can't be all bad....
Customer Review: customer service sucks, product not good
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the alcomate pro a few years ago. it worked for about a month. I sent it in for repair. after 3 months i called to ask where it is. I recieved it a month later. It still didn't work (5.7) and I haven't been drinking. Put it in the drawer for four years (I quit drinking, had more fun drinking, so i want to get it fixed) Call 24hr customer support. She gave me another number to call, they were closed. Called her back at another number I had found on the internet. She said didn't you just call (I guess I had, on another number). That's when I told her I thought it was a pretty Mickey Mouse operation. Her reply was a very sarcastic reply "why thank you sir and you have a very nice evening" CLICK. My observance with dealing with this company is that they are working from a house in CRACKville USA. Not a professional company at all.

Customer Review: Not reliable
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this with the goal of checking our teens. I was OK with a small margin of error, but what I found was that this device was not reliable at all.
Essentially I tested as follows:
1. Consumed 4 beers within 1.5 hours
2. Waited 30 minutes from the point of my last beer
3. Tested
The results were continually a BAC of 0.0%
This of course is not satisfactory as I would want to know if my kids had consumed as much.
I am not sure that there is a good consumer priced solution, but this is certainly not it.
As a side note, I did email the manufacturer and never received a response. So not only do you get a dysfunctional product, but you don't get any customer service.
