They say first impressions are the most important. The Elite 3 looked and felt like it was made by my computer/tablet/phone company (No names). Setup was easy – and so is daily (?) use. Obvious... See more

alcosense elite 3 fantastic!
I bought the alcosense elite 3. It’s so easy to use. I’ve had electronic breathalyzers before and after a while they just don’t read properly.
We’re very careful the morning after but for a while we’d be so unsure. This product however having its own cleaning option is a gamechanger. It gives you peace of mind!

Absolutely 💯 company just done a upgrade and service price Absolutely brilliant and alcosense also very accurate product
Easy to use and seems accurate.
Easy to use and seems accurate although I haven't checked it against a police unit. Slim design, easy to read results in seconds.
Mark B Great Product

[Alco Sense Ultra]
Great Alternative for a Alco Meter.
I got the Ultra Version and have not fully comparedit with the Concurent yet, but so far so good !
It comes with a handy hardcase bag, 3xAAA & Micro USB Cable...
This unit cannot charge via USB, it's only for software updates...
Calibration is 500sek, and are more expensive then the "Concurent"

It is super easy to use, lacks “no alcohol” accuracy
It is super easy to use. It’s great that it has so many different countries, which you can easily change. Great if you’re driving across Europe.
I also wanted to use it just to check if any alcohol had been consumed, this is where it slightly lacks in my opinion. When no alcohol is consumed, it will still say a minimum rating, and that you have low or no alcohol in your system.
As a recovering addict, this threw me off the first time, and could prove to be a problem if having to show family or friends that I’m still sober.

Really easy to use
Really easy to use , clear readings and a good price. Had the lite one but the elite 3 is so much better.
excellent
This is an excellent product that fulfils all its functions both basic and advanced
Great product, best customer service
Super happy with the product, easy to use, slim, easy to bring with you.
Also, customer service is best of the best. I had to recalibrate mine and I had messed up on my side. They solved all my problems and got it done in no time, with a big smile.
Karl is a legend!
I bought alcosense elite 3 works well…
I bought alcosense elite 3 works well will be upgrading when this one is due a service to the Pro, great machine and gives you the peice of mind you are not driving over the limit the morning after
We used the Alcosense Elite for many years.
Having used the AlcoSense Elite for several years (and with the back gone missing of it) we decided to upgrade to the AlcoSense Pro model from Halfords. We travel regularly on the continent and within the device is the option to chose the country you are currently traveling in, some of these countries have very low alcohol limits and this takes out the guess work and allows you to safely drive under the limit. The product itself is excellent with a colour screen to indicate the level.
I have owned an Alcosense excel for over seven years with great confidence
I have owned an Alcosense excel for over 7 years, got it calibrated annually and it was reliable and trustworthy, after a night out or after a wedding or other celebration it gave me the confidence to drive the next day. Alcosense are now offering an upgrade service so I have recently bought a pro and while I haven’t needed to use it yet I know that it is going to provide the same excellent service and also will have extra features that will make it even easier to use.
Excellent Product and Service
I have just bought an Excel and have used it already. Its accurate and very easy to use, I also like the fact that it bcan be used in multiple countries but has to be set up to do so first which again is straight forward and easy. A list of tables is given in the manual to help with this. Overall a great product and experience
Pro Upgrade
I sent my breathalyser in for calibration and heard nothing for ages. when I contacted them they referred to an email having been sent telling me that the sensor couldn't be calibrated. That's fine, but I waited ages and I have no sign of any email having been received anywhere.
Once I was aware of the issue I decided to upgrade rather than have the sensor replaced.
That really was the only negative of dealing with them and service from there on was really good, even upgrading the postal service to get it to me more quickly.
I previously had an Excel and was really happy with it. I now have the Pro and although very similar looking does have different features.
I have just been on a bike tour in Spain and swapping to their limits and knowing that it was being measured using their volume standards etc. was really reassuring. Dead easy to use.
We had a great weekend with midsummer…
We had a great weekend with midsummer celebrations and a wedding all weekend. A lot of people from Norway visiting our cabin in Sveden. The alcosense was an absolute important and needed product everyone used on Sunday before leaving and driving. Perfect to have in our cabin.
The Alcosense Excel is an excellent product
We have owned an alcosense excel for a number of years and have found it very easy to use. I have a personal policy of not driving if I have any alcohol in my body. The red don't drive, amber below the limit but alcohol is present, and green no or low alcohol level simplifies things for me, as I won't drive until it is green. The readings in numerical form give me an indication as to how long it is likely to be before I am likely to be low. After many years my old device broke down just before we were due to have a weekend break involving some drinking and some driving, so unfortunate timing. Luckily I was able to purchase a replacement from Halfords. The set up procedure is quick and simple. I hope our new device will give us the same excellent service over many years as did the old one, as I will be very happy if it does.

Purchased the Pro version from MEDS APOTEK HERE IN SWEDEN. Put it to the test the following night after having a few beers at a friends house. Did my test at 22 o clock- It stated I had 1hr 52 mins left till I could drive- love this feature. Happy with purchase

I bought an AlcoSense pro and an universal carry bag in may 2025 via Halfords. I found it very easy to set up and use. the unit is very well made and easy to hold. I have now use a few time before driving the next morning and I know iam completely safe to drive. It will flash green or red depending on reading or amber if your close to the drink drive limit which is 0.35 in England. iam very happy with this device.
