Dear Sir/Madam,
Robot model number NHO1
First, I am unhappy with its batteries. They last for just two weeks instead of one month as you said.
Second, you said the robot can work 12 hours every day, but in fact, it can only work 5 hours. When I come back home, it has stopped working and I have to cook or tidy up by myself.
Last month, I bought a robot from your shop. However, I am not satisfied with it at all. It is not as good and useful as you promised.
