Does this little device require 20 minutes of no liquids of any kind, like another I bought that broke quickly?

The 20 minute waiting period is primarily for no alcohol consumption--in order to let the alcohol enter the bloodstream and ensure a more accurate reading. But you may drink water or other non-alcoholic liquids during the 20 minute waiting period--just as long as you aren't blowing liquid into the actual breathalyzer.

It recommends it for an accurate reading. Haven't had any problems with it not working and it stays inside a car in south Louisiana.

Absolutely not! You can do this at any time. I also bought a different one as a backup and hated it because of all the stipulations that are advertised as bells and whistles. I love this device and wouldn't use anything else. So simple.

this little device is just extremely inaccurate no matter what. don't buy it. you're going to have to spend a lot of money for one that is actually accurate

The Pola does refrigerate the liquid within 20 minutes. The stirring sound is awful, it makes a new and high pitched squealing noise to the point I turn the paddle function off.

I haven't really timed it, but I would say less than a minute probably around 20 seconds, no tools are required

It has a 23 minute or 45 minute option. You need to manually start it again when it stops. Yeah i use it for traveling. I take the device out of the sheep doll and kust take that.

I've never timed it. It's fairly short, maybe 5 minutes. I believe it percs too quickly because there is evidence that the water is overloading the basket containing the coffee grounds. A significant quantity of grounds end up in the bottom of the pot and in your cup when the coffee is poured.

Pretty quick... under 5 min but probably quicker than that... If I remember right it holds residual water so it's probably under a minute... a bunch of drunks use it so it couldn't take all that long ;=)

Not very long - maybe 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all - I have to empty out the water and refill it before it will work. These are NOT worth the money.

It recommends brewing for 3 minutes. That is what I have been doing and it takes great.

You don't really need one. There is a mouthpiece that flips out of the top of the device itself.

I just pour a cup after 3 minutes or so. It's pause and serve. It will "hiss" when the water tank is empty. That means it is finished, but you can pour before then.

The device itself is not loud at all if you keep the water 1/2 full. However as the water gets low it does tend to 'boil' or 'bubble out' as it steams -- especially after about 24 hours use. This does require 'cleaning' with white vinegar after a few days uses else the water tends to bubble or boil more often. Noise is like sucking the last of liquid in a container with a straw.

it is about 20 minutes but please check your manufacture's instruction first.

I'm sorry it took so long to answer, I was trying to get a hold of the company. It lasts for about 2 hours under continuous use before needing to add water. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

It doesn't take that long to get it ready (water) - I'd say a minute at most. The only reason to keep it running that long is if you wanted to warm your cup/s or shot glass/es (at the top of the unit). But the quick answer is "yes".

Very simple. The info on the website should tell you how simple it is to use on liquids. To date we have not had call to use this aspect of the device.

It takes me 10 minutes or more to use the entire jug one time. I've never tested it by just spraying it constantly, so it is not very fast at all.

Absolutely, the kettle does require about 15 - 20 seconds in between turning off and back on, so as long as you do not try to turn it back on before that time has passed you will be good.
