- Created over 10 days
We counted 4,389 reviews for this product over the span of 163 days, an average of 26.9 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 45 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 10 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 569 reviews were created on just 10 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.
Take-Back Reviewers
1,160 of the 4,389 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. While this is more Take-Back Reviewers than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Take-Back Reviewers and reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

- Reviews have been deleted
There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:
- 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.
- We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
- 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.
