- Created over 316 days
We counted 35,703 reviews for this product over the span of 2,272 days, an average of 15.7 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 30 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 316 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 28,522 reviews were created on just 316 days. The reviews on these high volume days have rated this product an average of 4.4 while reviews from other days have rated this product an average of 4.3. 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.
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Suspicious Reviewers
One-Hit Wonders
2,351 of the 35,703 reviewers have only reviewed this product. The One-Hit Wonders have rated this product an average of 4.7 while the reviewers who have posted more than one review have rated this product an average of 4.4. 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.
Never-Verified Reviewers
2,464 of the 35,703 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.6 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 4.4. 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
10,048 of the 35,703 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.
Fail Phrase Repetition
Phrase Repetition
Reviews that contain one of these phrases are NOT necessarily devalued; read more about how this test works here.
1,766 of the 35,703 total reviews for this product use substantial repetitive phrases between them. These reviewers have rated this product an average of 5.0 while reviews without substantial repetitive phrases rated this product an average of 4.4. 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.
Fail Reviewer Participation
Reviewer Participation
-
- 67%
- From reviewers with an overrepresented participation
We see the following 2 participation groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 23984 reviewers (or 67%) are within an overrepresented participation group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.5, 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.
Warn Deleted Reviews
Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 460 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.
