Lidl has introduced a new portable breathalyser designed to help drivers check their blood alcohol levels before driving. Featuring a compact sensor and a straightforward LCD display, the device aims to provide clear, prompt results to enhance road safety and support responsible decision-making behind the wheel.
The breathalyser integrates a built-in microprocessor that controls the measurement process, promising improved accuracy within a range of 0 to 1.9 grams per litre, which fully encompasses Spain's legal limits for driving. The screen delivers results within seconds, while an audible alert confirms when readings are available. For added convenience, its lightweight design and wrist strap make it easy to carry in a vehicle or pocket.
Device features and user experience
The key attributes of this alcohol tester include an LCD panel for easy reading and a 'beep' alert that lets users know a measurement is complete, removing any guesswork or waiting. According to Lidl, the device’s microprocessor processes data captured by the sensor for 'optimal accuracy in a device of its size.' Its measuring range covers drink-driving thresholds relevant for everyday drivers in Spain and other EU countries.
Practicality and accessible pricing
The breathalyser operates on two AAA batteries, which come included, and is designed for one-handed use due to its compact build and wrist strap. Offered at a reduced price of €7.99 (down from €9.99), Lidl has made this accessible for individuals seeking a practical way to monitor alcohol levels before deciding to take the wheel.
The model is readily available in stores and online, expanding options for responsible drivers. The combination of affordability, portability, and user-friendly design positions this breathalyser as a helpful tool for anyone wanting to prevent risk while driving after consuming alcohol.
