Analysis Details
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Suspicious Reviewers
Never-Verified Reviewers
811 of the 13,171 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.4 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
3,760 of the 13,171 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.

Warn Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 197 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:
- 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.

- Created over 196 days
We counted 13,171 reviews for this product over the span of 1,465 days, an average of 9.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 20 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 196 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 8,283 reviews were created on just 196 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
Warn Reviewer Ease
Reviewer Ease
The ease score is the average rating for all reviews that a given reviewer submits. The average ease score for reviewers of this product is 4.3, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 4.2. While this discrepancy is rather large, it is not quite large enough to rule out the possibility of it being due random chance.
