• Reviews have been deleted

We discovered a total of 16 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.

• Created over 5 days

We counted 72 reviews for this product over the span of 2,293 days, an average of 0.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 1 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 5 days exceeding this threshold:

• 2 Reviews on Sep 18, 2014 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 2 Reviews on Dec 27, 2017 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 2 Reviews on Jan 17, 2013 (Avg. rating: 4.0)
• 2 Reviews on Feb 28, 2014 (Avg. rating: 3.0)
• 2 Reviews on Jun 20, 2014 (Avg. rating: 3.0)

In total, we found that 10 reviews were created on just 5 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.
