BACtrack C6
🍷 MAIN FEATURES
The BACtrack C6 Breathalyser ranks as a reliable and cost-effective option, earning second place on our list. Designed with a high-sensitivity semiconductor sensor and a bright LCD display, it delivers quick and reasonably accurate BAC readings. While the BACtrack C6 stands out with its Bluetooth connectivity and sleek design, the Alcogate Breathalyser takes the lead in core functionality and value – especially for users who prioritize simplicity and affordability over app integration.
SPEED & EFFICIENCY
The BACtrack C6 Breathalyser performs well, offering readings in around 10 seconds and compatibility with smartphone apps for detailed tracking. However, the Alcogate Breathalyser comes out ahead with a faster warm-up and response time of just 5 seconds — all without the hassle of app pairing or potential connectivity issues. For quick, on-the-spot readings, the Alcogate Breathalyser delivers focused, efficient performance with no unnecessary setup or delays.
EASE OF USE
The BACtrack C6 stands out with its app interface, allowing users to track results over time, estimate sobriety, and even call a ride. However, this added functionality introduces extra complexity. The Alcogate Breathalyser, on the other hand, excels with single-button operation, a large, easy-to-read LCD, and zero learning curve – just blow and read. If you're after a no-fuss, plug-and-play device that works without relying on a smartphone, the Alcogate Breathalyser is the smarter choice.
PORTABILITY & DURABILITY
While the BACtrack C6 is compact and includes a convenient keychain attachment, the Alcogate Breathalyser is just as portable and built to last. Its sturdy mouthpiece design and solid construction ensure it holds up well under regular use. You may lose out on app-based features, but you gain in reliability and durability – all without the premium price tag.
