I bought this speaker and it stopped working in under a week
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sent this to my son off in the Navy. Personalized it with the camo blue (which navy discontinued) with his nickname and he loves it. A tad overpriced for personalization but quick shipping!
Excellent quality sound, of course. The recipient is very happy with their gift. Only reason for 4/5 and not 5 stars is because wrapping the entire speaker with the photo wasn't an option. (If it was, two intelligent adults couldn't figure out how.)
Was looking for an easy way to play music outdoors. Didn't want the hassle of installing a whole system. This was a great option. Customized the design so it looks like a decoration and part of the environment, not just a honkin speaker sitting on a table. Cable-free and totally mobile so we can use it anywhere in the house, too. Easy to pair with devices. Works with whatever music app/device you are using/familiar with so you don't need to deal with another new interface. Plenty loud with solid sound. Amazing when you pair two or more.
