Focombance 111 digital breathalyser – portable alcohol tester
Practical and straight to the point, the Focombance 111 is a compact breathalyser made for quick checks without any faff. It’s light enough to pop in your pocket before a night out, yet sensitive enough to give a clear steer on whether it’s sensible to drive. The unit pairs a bright LCD display with a spoken result, so you can read it or hear it — handy when the pub’s dim and you don’t want to squint at tiny numbers.
Key features
- Clear LCD plus speech alert – see the number or hear it called out, no guessing involved.
- Semiconductor sensor – fast response and solid day-to-day reliability for personal use.
- Quick cycle times – roughly 15 seconds to warm up, a steady 5-second blow and a result in about 3 seconds.
- Hygienic by design – non-contact breath detection, a dust cover and dishwasher-safe mouthpieces make cleaning simple.
- Multiple units – pick from three measurement units to match local preferences.
- Ultra-light and pocket-friendly – weighs around 20 g, so you’ll hardly notice it in a pocket or bag.
How to use
It’s deliberately straightforward. Hold the button for one second to switch on, wait for the warm-up prompt (about 15 seconds), then blow steadily for at least 5 seconds. The device will speak the result and display it on the LCD almost straight away. For a sensible check, give it 20–30 minutes after drinking — breath alcohol needs time to peak. If you need to test more than once, wait roughly three minutes between attempts.
Why this helps
Ever been unsure whether you’re safe to drive after a few drinks? This breathalyser gives a quick, easy indication so you can make a better call on the spot. It’s perfect for parties, weddings or a night out, and useful for families after celebrations. It won’t replace police-grade kit, but it does cut down the guesswork and helps you avoid risky choices — which is a right boon on cold nights when taxis cost a fortune.
Typical questions and practical notes
- Is it suitable for legal use? No — the Focombance 111 is a consumer guidance device and not a substitute for police equipment.
- How accurate is it? It uses a semiconductor sensor tuned for reliable, repeatable readings in everyday situations. For anything crucial, get a professional test.
- Hygiene tips – use the dust cover and rinse the mouthpieces as needed; the fact they’re dishwasher-safe makes life easier after events.
