- Have an overrepresented word count
In the graph above, we can see the distribution of review word counts for this product and the expected distribution for this category. We see the following 2 groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 14,345 reviews (or 57%) are within an overrepresented word count group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.3, while all other reviews 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.

These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.3, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 3.9.

Warn Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 544 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.2. 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 305 days
We counted 25,363 reviews for this product over the span of 2,802 days, an average of 9.1 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 305 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 8,813 reviews were created on just 305 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

One-Hit Wonders
3,527 of the 25,363 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the One-Hit Wonders and reviewers who have posted more than one review isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
