The unit works well keeping the room cool however I would not buy it again because of the high pitched beep that it makes every time you touch any of the buttons and there is no way to fix without voiding the warranty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this at the beginning of a heat wave and it cooled off the living room wonderfully. Easy to install, the remote is great and the unit cools off the room in a hurry. It is noisier than I expected.
I purchased this unit just before the heat wave of July 2016, and it has been working perfectly in a medium sized bedroom. Installation was easy. The only minor drawback is that the unit rattles a bit when the compressor starts up on the "Economy" setting, but by switching it to the "Cool" setting overnight it produces a consistent pleasant hum. I haven't received my first utility bill yet, but considering the good EER rating of this unit, I do not expect any surprises. I would definitely recommend this unit.
