• 
• 9%
• Created over 6 days

We counted 303 reviews for this product over the span of 3,117 days, an average of 0.1 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 2 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 6 days exceeding this threshold:

• 5 Reviews on Dec 7, 2015 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 5 Reviews on Jan 18, 2016 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 5 Reviews on Jan 19, 2016 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 5 Reviews on Oct 11, 2015 (Avg. rating: 4.8)
• 3 Reviews on Jan 16, 2016 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 3 Reviews on Sep 20, 2015 (Avg. rating: 4.7)

In total, we found that 26 reviews were created on just 6 days. The reviews on these high volume days have rated this product an average of 4.9 while reviews from other days have rated this product an average of 4.7. 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.

One-Hit Wonders

• 
• 12%
• have only posted one review

37 of the 303 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.

Never-Verified Reviewers

• 
• 18%
• have zero verified purchases

56 of the 303 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.9 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 4.7. 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.

• 13
• Reviews have been deleted

We discovered a total of 13 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.8. 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.

• 2%

7 of the 303 reviewers have reviewed multiple products but half or more of their reviews are for this brand. While this is more Brand Loyalists than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Loyalists and non-loyalists isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
