Product Description

The advantages of the PT500 PT Core Fuel-Cell Technology are numerous! The PT500 offers a simple menu-driven operation allowing you to take a test, set specific alarm points or check how many tests have been performed. The PT500 has a brilliant 4-digit test result display that can pick up trace amounts of alcohol—examples such as 0.003% or 0.006% BAC –which is the perfect solution for zero-tolerance testing environments screening for the presence of small amounts of alcohol. PT Core Fuel Cell provides more reliable, consistent and accurate results as compared with semi-conductor breathalyzers. It will reduce false positives for someone who is diabetic or on a low calorie diet. Other semiconductor breathalyzers will sometimes show a false positive result for these individuals but the PT Core is not subject to interference from ketones which can be seen in conditions such as diabetes or people on fad diets. The PT500 also exhibits a linear response to measured alcohol, allowing the unit to provide more accurate and consistent results over the complete range of alcohol concentrations. This is especially true at higher BAC concentrations, such as 0.255% BAC, where the PT Core Fuel Cell will provide more reliable and consistent results whereas semiconductor models may become less accurate at the higher BAC ranges. PT Core™extends the life of the sensor and allows for 1000s of tests to be performed. The AlcoHAWK PT500 Breathalyzer utilizes a highly accurate and reliable PT Core fuel cell sensor technology. This enhanced technology allows the PT500 to be operated as a screening device for professional, medical, and law enforcement testing applications. The PT500 is the perfect choice for law enforcement, hospitals, clinics, businesses, and for personal use -- anytime and anywhere fuel-cell accuracy is required rely on the PT500!

5.0 out of 5 stars best of the bunch

I have bought a few different brands to compare them and have found most to be very disappointing - if not downright dangerous as some will convince you that you are within the 'acceptable' BAC range when you really are not (and others, especially cheapies, will show you over the limit after one small drink which is useless) but this model produces consistent results that make sense and that I would be prepared to rely on (within a reasonable margin of error). The only minor issue I have is that it shows low readings (about 0.015 and below) as zero so you could be lulled into a false sense of security and think it is OK to have a couple more drinks when you are actually already close to 0.02 which could tip the balance before you know it. This is definitely better than most people's method of trying to decide if they have had too much to drink as a number of times I have felt fine but this machine has convinced me otherwise, possibly saving my licence (or avoiding an accident). Always allow 10 - 15 minutes after drinking before testing as alcohol in the mouth will give you false readings - the results are very consistent after that time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would NOT recommend
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2012

I'm giving this one star for several reasons:

1. SIZE: This product is WAY too big to take out when you're drinking. It definitely does NOT fit into pants pockets. I saw the picture on amazon before I purchased, but in real life it seems even bigger.

2. PERFORMANCE / FUNCTIONALITY: It was not consistent. Readings varied more than I expect, especially from a device at this price point - consecutive readings were often off by more than .02. Several times it wouldn't even take my breath; translation: no reading at all.

3. FEEL / PERCEIVED DURABILITY: The device looks and feels cheap: buttons, screen, plastic case. As a result, I worry about the long-term durability of the product and fully expect performance to diminish even further as time progresses.

Bottom line: I would definitely NOT recommend this product.

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2012

The AlcoHawk PT 500 is an excellent product. Easy to use and extremely accurate. I host dinner parties and there is always wine, but sometimes thoughtful guests bring a nice bourbon or Scotch. Before anyone leaves, they have to use the breathalyzer; 0.06 or higher (0.08 is legally "drunk" in CA), they're staying the night or I'm calling them a cab! As a host, you are legally liable if your guest is involved in an alcohol related accident.

The manufacturer also has a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) calculator on their website [...]. The calculator is also quite accurate and a good way to plan ahead if you know you're going to be drinking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great thing to have around. Highly reccomend it.
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
Bought it to be safe and it's been extremely helpful. I don't know why more people don't purchase them. It's pretty accurate as well. My body weight and size would indicate about .03 per drink and this has always registered right around there. I don't put full faith in it as it's not an expensive device, so I usually give about a .02-3 margin of error (wait until it reads .05 - .06), but that's just me being cautious. It also has a temp readout, so you can know when it's warmed up enough to get the best reading. Very nice feature. Ultimately, it's really helped me to learn to gauge my tolerance and BAC on my own. Now I usually know what the results are going to be before taking the test.

Size is small enough were you can slip it in your pocket and step in a bathroom or something to take a reading without garnering attention. It's also quiet. No loud beeping or buzzing sounds when being utilized. Fits nicely in the center console or glove box of the car as well.

Only complaint is that it seems a little fragile, like the plastic could crack easily. But it comes with a case so that helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Unit Backed By Outstanding Customer Service
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have owned this AlcoHAWK PT500 for about a year now and I absolutely love it. It always gives me a lot of peace of mind. I am not a heavy drinker but I do like to know what my reading is after dinner. It takes away the guesswork of wondering if alcohol is in your system if you have a reading of your BAC. Measured matters and this is the best possible breathalyzer available for consumers. The product website states that the accuracy is "plus or minus 0.01% @ 0.05% BAC." However, the manual states that the "accuracy at a BAC greater than 0.032 has not been established." The bottom line is that no device is perfectly accurate at higher levels and they have to put in this disclaimer. I still think that higher readings are probably more accurate than those that come from cheaper units made by other manufacturers.

Also, this Breathalyzer will need to be sent in for calibration after 200 tests have been performed, or every six to twelve months if less than 200 tests have been performed. I think the charge for calibration is around $30. Well worth it to ensure the unit has a long lifespan.

Customer service at the Quest Products Service Center is outstanding. I mistakenly dropped the device three feet on to a carpeted floor and the mouthpiece end cracked, leaving the other end stuck in the unit. I sent it to the service center. With Stacy's assistance, I was able to get them to do a complete repair and ship it back to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and Easy
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013

This is the handiest new must-have gadget if you want to have a few drinks and then contemplate driving home. Pull it out ahead of time to test yourself and, if not legal to drive, then WAIT until you are OR call someone for a ride home. Guessing you're "okay" and risking a DUI is not the answer. I know plenty who have recently gone thru the humiliation, torture and horrendous expense of a DUI – and the price of this breathalyzer is NOTHING compared to that. It is certainly accurate enough to keep you safe from law enforcement looking to make easy money off those dumb enough to drink-and-drive; something most of us (including many officers) have done a time or two in the past. Those days are over - so protect yourself!
