Alcosense Ultra

As a 90s kid it has been drummed into me with terrifying adverts just how dangerous drinking and driving is, so if I am driving, I avoid drinking alcohol. However, there have been situations the morning after a heavy night where I’m questioning how much alcohol could still be in my system. Alcosense have a range of personal breathalysers to take the unknown out of your blood alcohol levels.

The Ultra is Alcosense’s top-of-the-line personal breathalyser which can be used at home or in a professional setting. It had been designed with precision and reliability in mind, it comes with the same fuel-cell sensor technology used in police devices, making it far more accurate than cheaper models on the market. This is the 200mm² fuel cell sensor, which is highly sensitive and provides results accurate to within ±0.07‰ BAC (Blood Alcohol Content), -0.00‰BAC.. That’s seriously impressive for a consumer-grade device and unlike basic breathalysers, which can give unreliable readings due to low-quality sensors, this one delivers police-grade accuracy, meaning you can genuinely trust the results.

The 2.8-inch full-colour screen makes navigating the menus straightforward, and the device provides step-by-step guide on how to take a proper test. If you’ve ever used a breathalyser before, you’ll know how easy it is to mess up a test by blowing too softly or too hard, the BlowCoach (lol) tells you exactly how to do it correctly. The results are super easy to read too, Green means Zero alcohol, Red means you are close or over them limit and tells you not to drive. Amber tells you how close to the limit you are, both Red and Amber tell you when you should be sober and you can set an alarm to remind you when to test again.

The ultra lets you adjust the limits based on different countries’ drink-driving laws and the morning after function will estimate how long alcohol is likely to remain in your system based on your test results. The device itself feels solid and well-built, the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is another plus it lasts for around 400 tests per charge, meaning you won’t need to worry about it running out of power too often.

At just under £250, the AlcoSense Ultra isn’t cheap, but if you want accuracy, reliability, and genuinely useful features, it’s worth the investment. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to be absolutely certain they’re safe to drive the morning after drinking. If you take road safety seriously, this is one of the best breathalysers you can buy.
