Analysis Details
Fail Rating Trend
-
- 51%
- Created over 96 days
We counted 4,065 reviews for this product over the span of 823 days, an average of 4.9 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 14 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 96 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 2,079 reviews were created on just 96 days. The reviews on these high volume days have rated this product an average of 4.0 while reviews from other days have rated this product an average of 3.5. 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
1,977 of the 4,065 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. The unverified purchasers have rated this product an average of 4.1 while the verified purchasers have rated this product an average of 3.4. 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.
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
One-Hit Wonders
535 of the 4,065 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Never-Verified Reviewers
380 of the 4,065 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.1 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review 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.
Take-Back Reviewers
691 of the 4,065 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. This is an excessively large percentage of Take-Back Reviewers which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Fail Word Count Comparison

- 32%
- Have an overrepresented word count

These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.0, while all other reviews 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.

Warn Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 65 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 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.
Warn Reviewer Participation
-
- 64%
- 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 2615 reviewers (or 64%) are within an overrepresented participation group. This is an excessively high number of reviewers in overrepresented participation groups.
Pass Reviewer Ease

Pass Brand Repeats
Brand Repeaters

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.
-
- 0%
- Admitted to receiving an incentive
We didn't detect any reviews that used language indicating they were incentivized.
