This is very well done! Almost everything is 100% grammatically correct, but stylistically it's awkward. All changes that are green are changes that help things sound more natural. Yellow changes are necessary. Some notes:

1. A few times you had a "run on sentence" (two sentences that you tried to mash into one). This is a common thing for inexperienced writers to do, but is incorrect.

2. Sometimes (in green) I added a "," before the word "and". This is called an "oxford comma", and is used in American English.

3. "It is a cuboid shaped electric device, which is available in different colors." This whole sentence is unnatural. I would instead say something like "It is an electric, cube-shaped device, available in different colors." Also "cuboid" is a fancy word that is almost never used outside of math. 

Let me know if I need to explain anything else! :)
