We are often asked which of the range of digital breathalysers currently on the market offers the best value for money while still giving accurate readings.

The UK is currently flooded with very cheap breathalysers retailing for under £10 on many auction site. Many are offered from Hong Kong or other off shore locations and suggest high levels of accuracy and performance. Most of these models will not give any reliable readings and the seller will usually be untraceable if customer service is required.

With digital breathalysers you get what you pay for. Look for a reliable seller and check them out before you purchase. They need established experience of digital breathalysers and should offer a full range of breathalysers, spares and consumables such as www.valuebreathalysers.co.uk

So which breathalyser is recommended as best value for money. It still remains the DA5000 hand held digital breathalyser. The DA5000 breathalyser offers excellent accuracy, low cost consumables and spares, has been available since 2008 and is expected to continue in manufacture for many years due to its popularity and cost. Used by 1000’s of purchasers for years and with high reliablility, it remains the best value on the market currently.

Cheap digital breathalysers don’t work. A UK investigation into digital breathalysers being offered on e-bay and other auction sites for as little as £3.00 found that without exception the units either failed completely or gave wildly inaccurate readings.

The advice was clear. Do not buy from un-identified private traders. Ensure companies are offering full post sales support and look for expert knowledge in the field together with clear UK based contact details

Expect to pay £40.00 upwards for a serious digital breathalyser with service capability (all breathalysers will need regular servicing to maintain accuracy) Digital breathalysers below this and without service ability or changeable sensors must be viewed as consumable/disposable.

Digital Breathalyzers are available for personal and business (also healthcare) users from a variety of professional suppliers.

As the breathalyzers require specialist servicing and technical support, they have not been sold via major electrical retailers, so most suppliers are internet specialist companies such as valuebreathalysers.co.uk

Digital Alcohol Breathalyzers use digital semi-conductor and fuel cell technologies to selectively detect alcohol being excreated via the lungs to determine actual blood alcohol levels at the time of testing.

Samples are taken over 5 seconds and unit levels are displayed after conversion to usually either %BAC or mg/100ml BAC. Some models are available which directly display the breath alcohol concentration BrAC, but these are rare.

Cheaper digital breathalyzer units should be avoided because they are inaccurate and un-reliable. Entry level guidance is £40, expect to pay £80-100 for a high end alcohol breathalyzer unit with inbuilt electronic safety checking technologies (these ensure the unit tells you if it needs servicing)
