Analysis Details
Warn Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 24 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.
Warn Rating Trend
-
- 58%
- Created over 42 days
We counted 2,575 reviews for this product over the span of 1,095 days, an average of 2.4 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 9 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 42 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 1,493 reviews were created on just 42 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
Warn Suspicious Reviewers
Take-Back Reviewers
948 of the 2,575 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, the discrepancy in ratings between the Take-Back Reviewers and reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
Warn Word Count Comparison
-
