Analysis Details
Fail Rating Trend
-
- 23%
- Created over 35 days
We counted 1,795 reviews for this product over the span of 2,159 days, an average of 0.8 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 5 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 35 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 412 reviews were created on just 35 days. The reviews on these high volume days have rated this product an average of 9.7 while reviews from other days have rated this product an average of 9.2. 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
1,120 of the 1,795 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. The unverified purchasers have rated this product an average of 9.4 while the verified purchasers have rated this product an average of 9.2. 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 Brand Repeats
Brand Repeaters
623 of the 1,795 reviewers have reviewed other products for this brand. While this is more Brand Repeaters than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Brand Loyalists
405 of the 1,795 reviewers have reviewed multiple products but half or more of their reviews are for this brand. This is an excessively large percentage of Brand Loyalists which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Brand Monogamists
301 of the 1,795 reviewers have reviewed multiple products, but only for this brand. This is an excessively large percentage of Brand Monogamists which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
One-Hit Wonders
666 of the 1,795 reviewers have only reviewed this product. The One-Hit Wonders have rated this product an average of 9.5 while the reviewers who have posted more than one review have rated this product an average of 9.2. 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.
Never-Verified Reviewers
962 of the 1,795 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. The Never-Verified Reviewers have rated this product an average of 9.4 while the reviewers who have written at least one verified purchase review rated this product an average of 9.2. 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.
Take-Back Reviewers
281 of the 1,795 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.
Single-Day Reviewers
338 of the 1,795 reviewers have written multiple reviews but posted all of them on a single day. While this is more Single-Day Reviewers than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Fail Reviewer Ease

The average ease score for reviewers of this product is 9.2, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 8.8. 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.

These reviews have rated this product an average of 9.4, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 9.1.

Warn Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 38 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 8.6. 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.
Pass Phrase Repetition
Reviews that contain one of these phrases are NOT necessarily devalued; read more about how this test works here.
5 of the 1,795 total reviews for this product use substantial repetitive phrases between them. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
