• 831
• Reviews have been deleted

We discovered a total of 831 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.4. 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.

Show distribution of deleted reviews

One-Hit Wonders

• 
• 10%
• have only posted one review

40 of the 386 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.

Never-Verified Reviewers

• 
• 4%
• have zero verified purchases

16 of the 386 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 3.1 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 4.2. 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.

Take-Back Reviewers

• 
• 16%
• have previously deleted reviews

62 of the 386 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. The Take-Back Reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.7 while the reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history have rated this product an average of 4.0. 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.

• Have an overrepresented word count

• 10%
• Created over 7 days

We counted 386 reviews for this product over the span of 627 days, an average of 0.6 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 4 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 7 days exceeding this threshold:

• 6 Reviews on Mar 10, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.3)
• 6 Reviews on Mar 24, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.2)
• 6 Reviews on Feb 6, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.0)
• 5 Reviews on Feb 5, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.0)
• 5 Reviews on Mar 6, 2020 (Avg. rating: 4.0)
• 5 Reviews on Feb 10, 2020 (Avg. rating: 3.8)
• 5 Reviews on Jan 26, 2020 (Avg. rating: 3.4)
Show All

In total, we found that 38 reviews were created on just 7 days. Although any days with a larger number of reviews than expected is suspicious, these reviews do not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.

Brand Loyalists

• 
• 3%
• Reviewed mostly products from this brand

11 of the 386 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.
