The device is small as a cell phone, so unobtrusive when it is in the jacket. Built telescopic mouthpiece is a plus. Batteries last long enough for occasional use (1x party use / month). Has a high fun factor. However, the menu navigation via dial operation is only easy if you work more than 1x / month with the device, because the handling quickly forgotten and for the occasional longer calibration time (10-30 sec) can often cast doubt on the intuitive operation. In the case then I do like other devices, if I have no more patience for a feedback of the device, attempt to turn the power off / on, which does not by a simple push of a button works, but on more seconds pressure and reaffirmation. If you have previously read on the display values such as 1.0 parts per thousand, is sometimes no longer sooooooo easy to use. But the battery compartment just goes on and ;-). Unfortunatley my device already 5 of 24 months, with new factory calibration is required on the clock, even though it was a new purchase. For a point deduction. All in all, I would buy the device again.
