The first question you must ask yourself is what is going to be the main use or purpose of your breathalyzer. Some buy a personal breathalyzer to keep track of themselves at parties or at the bar and only use it every so often. While others may buy it for business purposes to keep track of employees and use it on a regular basis. The differences between these two uses are great and can also be a difference of spending $50 or $200.
A great example of a first time breathalyzer that gives you great results would be either the AlcoHAWK Elite or the BacTrack S50. They both require very infrequent maintenance and have a good track record for ease of use and great prices. These devices are also meant for more personal use because they are using a semiconductor oxide sensor instead of a more professional fuel cell sensor.
