Note: TrueRead™ is a personal device and shouldn’t be shared. You blow directly into the mouthpiece, so one per person is more hygienic. Having your own also means it’s always with you when you need it. If more than one person in your family drives, give each driver their own.
PS: TrueRead™ is sold only on our official website. Our 60-day money-back guarantee and 3-year warranty apply only to orders placed here.
01 Description
TrueRead™ is a personal breathalyzer that shows your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as a clear number on a bright digital display, easy to read even in a dark car. Small enough for a glove box, purse or jacket pocket. USB-C rechargeable, with a battery that lasts up to 30 days on a single charge, so there are no batteries to replace.
02 How It Works
- Press the power button and wait for the ready signal (about 10 seconds).
- Blow steadily into the mouthpiece for 5 seconds.
- Your BAC appears on the screen in seconds.
If the number isn't zero, don't drive. Wait, call a ride, or hand someone else the keys.
03 How Accurate Is TrueRead™?
TrueRead™ uses a fuel cell sensor, the same type of technology used in police roadside screening devices. A fuel cell reacts specifically to alcohol, so the number on the screen comes from the alcohol in your breath, not from a guess.
Most low-cost breathalyzers use a semiconductor sensor instead. Those sensors can be thrown off by other things on your breath and lose accuracy with use. That means they can read lower than your real number.
With TrueRead™, you get a consistent, repeatable number you can actually make a decision with.

Why “I Feel Fine” Falls Short
Most people trust how they feel. They count drinks, drink water, wait an hour, and tell themselves they’re fine. But feeling fine is not a BAC reading. TrueRead™ shows your real number in seconds before you drive.
What Feeling Fine Misses
- “I feel fine” is not a BAC reading
- Counting drinks gets unreliable fast
- Waiting one hour per drink is only a guess
- Coffee and water do not lower your BAC
- Your body can feel normal while your number says otherwise
How TrueRead™ Helps
- Turns guesswork into a real BAC number
- Police-grade fuel cell sensor for reliable testing
- 5-second breath test with instant digital results
- Helps stop one bad decision before it happens
- Check first, then wait, ride-share, or give someone else the keys
Why it matters
Protect Your Family Before You Turn the Key
A few drinks at dinner can put you over the limit while you feel completely fine. Body weight, food, sleep, medication, stress and the time between drinks all change your number, and none of them tell you what it actually is.
What Knowing Earlier Changes
I’ve stood at roadside checks and heard ‘I feel fine’ more times than I can count. Most of those drivers honestly believed it. A real number before you turn the key gives you and your family a choice: call a cab, or hand the keys to someone who hasn’t been drinking. That one decision is the entire difference.

Why the Number Matters
02
Real numbers, not just yes or no
Cheap pharmacy testers only tell you alcohol is there. TrueRead™ tells you exactly how much. That matters, because 0.04 and 0.09 can feel exactly the same. One is under the legal limit. The other can mean a criminal charge.
03
Decide before you get in the car
The whole point is to know your number before you start the car. Once you’re driving, every choice gets harder. Once police lights are behind you, the choice is made for you. TrueRead™ gives you those 30 seconds when the right decision is still easy.
Reviews
What Changed After Using TrueRead™
-
Verified Buyer"I’m 65, and my husband and I have enjoyed wine with dinner for forty years. I thought I had a pretty good idea of how two glasses affected me. After three weeks with this breathalyzer, I realised I’d been relying on how I felt far more than I should have. Seeing the reading was a wake-up call. Before, I would have said, “I feel fine,” and reached for my keys. Now I stop and question that assumption. I bought a second one for my daughter. That’s how much it changed my perspective."
-
Verified Buyer"I have three children in their twenties. Last spring, a 24-year-old young woman from our church died after riding with a friend who had been drinking. Afterwards, I bought five of these: one for me, one for my husband, and one for each of our kids. Three weeks later, my oldest son called and told me he’d used his twice—and taken an Uber both times. That phone call meant more to me than any feature on the box. It’s easy to use and shows an actual reading rather than just a yes or no. For me, that call was the part that mattered most."
-
Verified Buyer"I bought this with low expectations. The first time I tried it, I’d had two beers and a bourbon over three hours. The display read 0.07. I would have sworn I felt fine, so that number caught my attention. I’ve now used it every Friday and Saturday for two months, and the reading is rarely what I would have guessed. A friend of mine was charged with impaired driving, which makes this feel less abstract. My biggest takeaway? Feeling fine and knowing your reading are two different things. I’m glad I stopped assuming they were the same."
-
Verified Buyer"I’ve tried other breathalyzers before, and some left me wondering whether I could trust the numbers at all. What stands out about this one is the consistency I’ve noticed when testing more than once. That’s the biggest difference for me compared with the others I’ve used. It’s also compact and quick to warm up—two simple things I appreciate about the design. There isn’t one flashy feature that sums it up. It’s the combination of consistent readings, a compact size, and a quick warm-up that gives me a better impression of this one overall."
Don’t wait for the cop to do it for you.
Drinking and driving is one of the leading causes of preventable traffic deaths in Canada. The real risk is believing you’re safe because you feel fine, when feeling fine is the very first thing alcohol takes away.
500+
Lives lost to drinking and driving every year
Every year in Canada, drinking and driving leads to more than 55,000 crashes and over 500 deaths. That’s about 1 in every 4 road deaths.
$20,000+
The cost of one drinking and driving conviction
No crash needed. Getting caught just once with your blood alcohol over the legal limit can cost you $20,000 or more. Cause a crash, and you could face jail time.

Press the power button and wait for the ready signal (about 10 seconds). Blow steadily into the mouthpiece for 5 seconds. Your BAC appears on the screen in seconds.
Wait at least 15–20 minutes after your last drink, since alcohol left in your mouth can make the reading higher than it really is. Then test right before you get behind the wheel.
Your BAC can keep rising for a while after your last drink, and alcohol can still be in your system the next morning, so it’s worth testing again before an early drive.
