Analysis Details

Fail Suspicious Reviewers

Single-Day Reviewers


43 of the 2,603 reviewers have written multiple reviews but posted all of them on a single day. The Single-Day reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.4 while all other reviewers rated this product an average of 4.1. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.

Warn Deleted Reviews

We discovered a total of 15 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.5. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole.

There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:
  1. We don't have a magic ability to collect every single deleted review; we can only identify reviews as deleted if we collect them on one date and then notice they are no longer visible on a subsequent date.
  2. We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
  3. We also don't know why these reviews were removed. It could be action from the platform, personal decision by the review author, part of an entire account closure, even some data error on our part, etc.

Warn Rating Trend

  • 45%
  • Created over 28 days

We counted 2,603 reviews for this product over the span of 933 days, an average of 2.8 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 10 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 28 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 1,177 reviews were created on just 28 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

Warn Brand Repeats

Brand Loyalists


70 of the 2,603 reviewers have reviewed multiple products but half or more of their reviews are for this brand. While this is more Brand Loyalists than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Loyalists and non-loyalists isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
