Why Use A Personal Breathalyzer

  • A personal breathalyzer gives you the ability to check your alcohol level in under 30 seconds. Many drivers are surprised by how much residual alcohol remains the morning after drinking. A quick test helps you identify this early and avoid costly consequences such as fines, licence loss, or extended interlock sentences.
  • Our devices use fuel cell sensor technology, the same type used in professional alcohol testing equipment. This provides dependable accuracy for New Zealand conditions and helps you make safer decisions long before you start your vehicle.

How Personal Breathalyzers Help You Stay Safe

Reliable Results With Fuel Cell Accuracy

Fuel cell sensors deliver consistent, police grade readings. This helps reduce the risk of misjudgment and offers reassurance when the stakes are high. 

 

Simple To Use And Portable

Each breathalyzer is compact enough to carry in your pocket or glovebox. Just switch it on, provide a breath sample, and view your reading in less than half a minute.

 

Support For Families And Friends

Many customers use their personal breath tester to check others before they drive. It is a simple way to encourage safer habits at home or on the road.
