Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 65 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the products, finding them to be of high quality and easy to use. Many appreciate the straightforward setup and the peace of mind these devices offer, especially for morning-after checks. People also find the upgrade process simple and the pricing reasonable for the value received. However, some customers experienced issues with older models, noting that they were inaccurate or became obsolete. A few also mentioned that the display of results could be clearer, as the numerical readings don't always align with commonly known limits. Additionally, some found the short blow tubes inconvenient and wished for a thicker carry case to accommodate all accessories.

Nice Unit

I bought the Alcosense Excel as I’m going on a motorcycle trip to Europe, where the driving limit is lower than in the UK.
The unit seems to be well made, and the instruction booklet is easy to follow.
I’ve tried it 4 times.
1. With no alcohol
2. 90 minutes after drinking 2 pints
3. When I got up to visit the loo, 90 mins after a night out, where I drank 4 pints and a small whisky.
4. The morning after the previous test.
Each time the Excel gave the expected result, with test 2 advising caution and test 3 advising me not to drive, as I was only slightly below the UK limit. The other 2 tests gave me a green light.
All in all, as the advice changes 20% below the legal limit, I’m confident that the results are a good indication of whether I’m fit to drive, and under the legal limit.

Quality Device

I have had a few devices previously but never trusted them, I have purchased the Pro version and the quality is fantastic, I have done a few tests and it appears to be very accurate.

Was recommended by a colleague

Was recommended by a colleague , after a discussion regarding the need to be able to drive for our occupation. I purchased the Excel from Amazon, So far I'm happy with the breathalyzer Excel, I used it this morning after a social night for work last night and it showed I had alcohol still in my system, this enable me to make the right decision to change my diary for the morning and have meetings on line.

Gives you confidence

I bought the Alcosense Excel to replace a cheap unit which I had no confidence in, it almost always registered 0 when that was very unlikely. The Alcosense is in a different league with sound construction and professional guidance and I've had complete confidence with it so far.

Good, but not great

Very good breathalyser which is easy to use and well designed. The instruction manual is clear and easy to understand. The calibration certificate is a bit basic though and the actual device is a bit expensive to buy, but on the whole it is a good product. Would be better if there were some straps inside the carry case to stop the device from accidentally falling out when opening. There is a pouch made of netting but the device doesn't fit inside it. You can use this netting to store mouth pieces, but then it is difficult to close the carry case.

Small, Lightweight and works perfectly

Bought an Alcosense Lite 2 to take on a driving holiday in Europe. Tried it out the same day as received and works great. Nice little device and really useful to provide peace of mind that you are fit to drive the morning after!

A very valuable reassurance

I just bought an Alcosense Lite 2 breathalyser, as due to travel to ROI and France this year.
Just tried it out and its really easy to use, accurate and small enough to carry with me in the car.
I would recommend anybody to get one as its also a reassurance to check you are not breaking the drink driving laws.

AlcoSense lite 2

Purchased an alcosense lite 2 to keep in the car for going to France. Just used it this morning after a few drinks and it’s correctly reading a low reading.
Good price point, easy to use and compact.

Purchased this Alcosense off Amazon

Purchased this piece of kit off Amazon. Its well made and easy to use. Tried it without any drink and it showed me that I was sober with a clear Green sign.
To prove it worked, I had a small amount of Alcohol. When i ran another test it changed to Amber with the reading of Alcohol inside of me. Even so I was well under the driving limit it traced the small amount that I had consumed. Well impressed and happy with my purchase
