Analysis Details
Fail Sample Reviews
10 of the 1,339 total reviews for this product mentioned the word "sample" within their review. The reviews that mention the word "sample" have rated this product an average of 6.8 while reviews that don't mention the word "sample" have rated this product an average of 8.7. 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.
Fail Brand Repeats
Brand Loyalists
148 of the 1,339 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
59 of the 1,339 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
462 of the 1,339 reviewers have only reviewed this product. This is an excessively large percentage of One-Hit Wonders which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Never-Verified Reviewers
588 of the 1,339 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. While this is more Never-Verified Reviewers than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Take-Back Reviewers
225 of the 1,339 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
253 of the 1,339 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 8.9 while all other reviewers rated this product an average of 8.6. 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 33 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 8.2. 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 Unverified Purchases
763 of the 1,339 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. While this is a higher percentage of unverified purchases than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
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.
Warn Reviewer Participation
-
- 78%
- From reviewers with an overrepresented participation
We see the following 1 participation group with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 1043 reviewers (or 78%) are within an overrepresented participation group. This is an excessively high number of reviewers in overrepresented participation groups.
Pass Rating Trend
-
- 1%
- Created over 2 days
We counted 1,339 reviews for this product over the span of 3,555 days, an average of 0.4 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 4 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 2 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 10 reviews were created on just 2 days. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
