Analysis Details
Fail Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 1,474 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 2.4. 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:
- 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.
2.4 average rating of deleted reviews
Fail Unverified Purchases
Unverified Purchases
861 of the 11,150 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. The unverified purchasers have rated this product an average of 1.4 while the verified purchasers have 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.
Unverified purchases may be the result of Kindle Unlimited readers, buyers who didn't pay full price, or reviewers who did not purchase the product at Amazon. Read more about our Unverified Purchases test.
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Suspicious Reviewers
Never-Verified Reviewers
Less than approximately 10% of reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 1.0 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 3.5. 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
Approximately 35% of 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, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
