It’s way to small and doesn’t cool a small room not worth the time or money
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This AC is designed to cool a room up to 250 square feet. If the room is larger than that, the AC will have trouble cooling it properly. To improve your cooling experience, make sure the air flow is not restricted, and that the cool air isn't escaping. Additional troubleshooting can be found on page 14 of the Use and Care Manual here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--Y8eJn2g7--/xmxbwo6zyygoh2afarub.pdf.
I am pretty happy with this air conditioner. I bought it to replace an older GE model which I had for ten years; it actually worked well but I felt like I was pushing my luck so I gave it away and purchased this new one, which had 1,000 more BTU. I use it in my bedroom. It also had features my older, more basic model, did not- electronic temperature controls, a remote, etc. It works well, I feel like it is a bit louder than the older one and also rattles sometimes, which stops if I give it a little push on the side. It was easy to install and light. I can't really tell about efficiency because I have a much larger unit in the living area which probably uses a lot more electricity.
Small, light weight and easy (relaltively) install

Installation was a bit of a chore, but I only had ME to do it! So, took a bit of time and configuration, but got it done and now it works perfectly. I like the fact that it doesn't have all kinds of wi-fi, bluetooth, types of electronics. Just a (fairly) simple on and off. The remote enhances the operation a lot.
After 2 days compressor makes a whistling noise sometimes. Something is also definitely rattling inside when compressor comes on. ALSO, when compressor comes on, I can feel it on the wall! It's rough and noisy most times. Not just a soothing blowing sound like it should be. It was installed by a professional HVAC guy, so pretty sure it's not the installation. It does cool and comes with a handy remote. I love that feature, but the noise is why I'm only giving 3 stars. It wakes me up sometimes and I can hear the whistling in the next room.

We want to provide information regarding the sound level of your air conditioner. This model is designed to operate at 61 dBA on the high setting and 56 dBA on the low setting. A sound level above 60 dBA is comparable to the volume of a normal conversation or a dishwasher operating. You can review page 15 of the manual for examples of normal operating sound you can hear while the unit is running here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--Y8eJn2g7--/xmxbwo6zyygoh2afarub.pdf. If the sound you're experiencing is louder than the normal operating sounds described on the manual, please refer to the place of purchase for additional assistance.
