Very satisfied with the performance of the breathalyser. - Review by John Williams
After a night of drinking I checked myself the next morning at around 10.00 to find that my breathalyser reading was at 0.02. Two hours I was given a breath test by the police to be told that I was at 0.01 and should not drink and drive in the near future.

Very good breathalyser. - Review by Robin Jeffers
Handy, very easy to operate and much cheaper than the price which RACV are selling it at. I have currently only tried it at home. It's main function will be as a guide for two of my children after a couple of drinks. They are not always aware of what a standard drink is and sometimes think that two glasses of wine in an hour or two is OK irrespective of the size of the glass. I cannot comment on the accuracy of the readings but have no reason to believe they are not accurate especially if endorsed by RACV.

Your breathalyser will be re-calibrated by the manufacturer, Andatech. They are based in Melbourne.

Q:
I'm just wondering what the accuracy is? Can you give me an example of when I blow 0.040, what would it actually say?
A:
The AL6000pro's accuracy is +/- 0.010%BAC at 0.050%BAC, meaning that if you blow 0.040%BAC, your actual blood alcohol reading could be plus or minus 0.01 from 0.04, so it could actually be 0.030 or 0.050. The main reason behind this is because it is a semiconductor type breathalyser which doesn't differentiate between alcohol (it would detect + read alcohol from cologne, mouthwash, etc).
Q:
Are the mouth pieces reusable?
A:
The mouthpieces are most certainly re-useable. Just make sure they get washed between uses to prevent inaccurate readings.
Q:
It says ships in 4-6 business days, but that would make it too late for what I need. Can you ship quicker, to get one delivered to Nthn NSW in 5 business days?
A:
The status says ships in 4-6 working days as this product is actually out of stock at the moment and we will have to order more in.
Was this to go to a metro or rural area? Delivery to metro takes 1-3 working days. Delivery to rural takes 3-5.

Q:
Is this equivalent to those used by the police? I'm concerned that I may get a different (higher) reading during an RBT which could land me in hot water.
A:
The AL6000Pro is not actually equivalent to those used by the police. The Australian Standard certification simply means that it is considered to be highly accurate that, if it is callibrated appropriately, makes it suitable to be used in a court of law. Law enforcement grade breathalyzers are usually fuel-cell powered and must be approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
The AL6000Pro is not a fuel-cell powered breathalyzer, has lower accuracy (and is not alcohol-specific, meaning it'll read perfume, mouthwash, and beer just the same), and is not DOT approved.
If you were after something equivalent to police-grade breathalyzers, I would definitely recommend the Andatech Stealth Fuel Cell Breathalyser AL9000 (http://www.ozbreathalyzer.com.au/andatech-stealth-fuel-cell-breathalyser-al9000.html). This one is DOT-approved, highly accurate, and is the cheapest in the fuel cell breathalyzers range. It reads up to 0.4%BAC, gives a 4-digit reading and has 0.005 accuracy (whereas the AL6000PRO gives 0.01 accuracy). This one should be suitable for your personal use.
If you want something that gives you up to 0.5%BAC reading like those that the police use, then you can look at the Andatech AlcoSense Precision Fuel Cell Breathalyser (http://www.ozbreathalyzer.com.au/andatech-alcosense-precision-fuel-cell-breathalyser.html).

Q:
AL 6000 Pro - How long does it take to get ready for a reading? How often does the unit need to be calibrated and the cost?
A:
It takes approximately 30 Seconds to be ready for a Reading. The unit will have to be re-calibrated every 200 Uses. Costs of Calibration is approximately $35 with Andatech Australia.
