Analysis Details

Fail Suspicious Reviewers

One-Hit Wonders


3,178 of the 28,949 reviewers have only reviewed this product. The One-Hit Wonders have rated this product an average of 4.9 while the reviewers who have posted more than one review 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.

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 4.8.

Fail Reviewer 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 22311 reviewers (or 77%) are within an overrepresented participation group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.8, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 4.6. 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.

Warn Deleted Reviews

We discovered a total of 278 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.7. 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.

Warn Rating Trend

  • 86%
  • Created over 112 days

We counted 28,949 reviews for this product over the span of 1,091 days, an average of 26.5 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 45 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 112 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 24,860 reviews were created on just 112 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

Pass Incentivized Reviews
On Oct 3, 2016, Amazon prohibited incentivized reviews, however we still test for them since there are still millions in our dataset.
