Definitely more than an hour.

It depends. I usually spend an hour or so on it, and then let it sit and marinate for a while to see if I think of anything else in the meantime. Usually I'll wait at least a couple days before sending it in.

An hour+, I think I should put way more time in to my reviews though, I think they need some work :/

A few hours for a few days. It always takes me a few days to finish it all. Try to re-check it as much as possible to.

Reviews take me forever. I try to be really thorough, and I'm a slow writer to begin with. Definitely over an hour.

In my case, I have written only book reviews. It takes about 2 weeks to read the book to really appreciate each story (20 stories). Then it takes me another week to put together the summary of which story to highlight. Then another week to finetune my work and then publish it! Overall, I would say it takes me ONE MONTH from start to finish!!!

It depends. If my view on a product is firm, it is pretty easy. For example Lelo Flickering Touch Massage Oil and Fun Factory's Tiger are two products I love absolute. Products that I am split on, they take longer. Then there are products that I don't like, but there are some redeeming features. I have to find those. Then there are the products that just don't work for me, that I have to find out why and be able to explain why. That is the challenge!!!!

Then there is always the fact that sometimes, I just get lost thinking of a toy, that I end up using it then go back to writing.

I can't imagine getting a review done in less than an hour. I usually take notes when I'm first checking an item out so I can remember first impressions, do all kinds of measurements, take photos, edit photos, upload photos, write the actual review, read it over for errors, blah blah blah.

The only reason I would say between 45 minutes to an 1 hour is because when I go to write a review I have a pretty good idea of what I am going to say already.

The actual writing takes something like 45 minutes on average, but I start taking notes on each item as soon as I receive it and then every time I use it until I'm ready to write the review. So I guess plenty of time goes into my reviews, but I couldn't say exactly how much!

It can take alot of time but the more inspiring the toy the easier it is.

Think it depends on how much you want to get across about the toy, usually the ones i have written I write it in about 30-45 mins save it in a Word document then go back to it the next day look over, add/delete stuff then post it. 1-2 hours.

depending on the product it could take me 30 minutes or an hour. Usually less than an hour because i usually know what i want to put into my reviews before posting them. I'm up to 104 reviews now. I'll get a lot more once i make my big big order

From trying out the product, taking measurements, taking pictures, editing pictures, doing research when necessary, and writing it all up, then reading back through a time or two and making changes/corrections as needed...I would say it usually takes me a good four hours total (not necessarily all at once though).

Even if it's a simple thing to review it takes me over an hour. A complicated toy takes me even longer. I usually split my review up over the course of 2 days or so. I also like to take pictures, upload them, edit them, blah. It really takes a long time and I always try to do my best on every one. =]

Yes, it usually takes more than an hour to write. Usually, it takes me just an hour to write the rough draft. I also take pictures, actually use the toy, and finish up the review it's a lot of time.

At the very least an hour, because I always write a draft and then read it to myself out loud while I edit. This is mostly because when I write I have all the thoughts but sometimes they don't translate well from my brain to my fingers.

That or I catch something that I have to go back and happily test out again.
