Analysis Details
Fail Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 115 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 3.8. 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:
- 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.
Fail Rating Trend
-
- 40%
- Created over 70 days
We counted 2,149 reviews for this product over the span of 2,149 days, an average of 1.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 6 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 70 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 857 reviews were created on just 70 days. The reviews on these high volume days have rated this product an average of 3.0 while reviews from other days have 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.
Fail Unverified Purchases
709 of the 2,149 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. The unverified purchasers have rated this product an average of 2.8 while the verified purchasers have 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.
Unverified purchases may be the result of Kindle Unlimited readers, buyers who didn't pay full price, or reviewers who did not purchase the product at Amazon. Read more about our Unverified Purchases test.
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Never-Verified Reviewers
149 of the 2,149 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 2.8 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 3.8. 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
766 of the 2,149 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. The Take-Back Reviewers have rated this product an average of 3.9 while the reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history have rated this product an average of 3.6. 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.
Single-Day Reviewers
43 of the 2,149 reviewers have written multiple reviews but posted all of them on a single day. The Single-Day reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.6 while all other reviewers rated this product an average of 3.7. 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.

Warn Brand Repeats
Brand Repeaters
783 of the 2,149 reviewers have reviewed other products for this brand. While this is more Brand Repeaters than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Repeaters and non-repeaters isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
