I think no more than 5 minutes and closer to 2. It just seems that one should be able convey pertinent and entertaining ideas in this frame time. Also, most people will not stay interested for more than a couple of minutes so I agree with underwhelmed.
I watch P. Busardo for 20 or 30 minutes at a time and stay interested all the way through.
What I won't watch is 30-50 second cheesy intros.

As long as the reviewer wants it to, it's his/her video. I do think many could be structured better, the main hit and miss points, features and other stand out things up front and the more in depth details after that but again, it's the makers video.
I'm with the Big Hitter on this - long, cheesy intros are a big turn-off.
What I look for are:
* Professionalism - good delivery, clear diction, no 'um' or 'ahh'
* Production quality - good lighting, in-focus, good sound, properly aligned camera angle, no background distractions.
* Factual - the good and bad, pro and con, clearly explained.
Phil Busardo has to be one of the best video reviewers out there - he ticks all the boxes. Scott (Igetcha69) is also very good indeed. GrimmGreen is knowledgeable but I his cheesy intros and distracting backgrounds (those posters - dude!) just grind my gears.
All in all 10-15 minutes is a good review but if it needs to be longer, and still keeps the entertainment level high, then so be it.

Although they haven't posted any new reviews in months Dog and Clay - Youtube are my fav. juice reviewers and they rarely exceeded 3 mins. even with multiple juice reviews. All the essential info and little fluff.
Under 5 min with no loud or long or musical introductions and no multimeters, and definitely NO personal bedroom things in the background like beds or clothes for eg. lol... . Detailed discussion of ohms, voltage and watts should be on a separate video or at least after everything important has been said, so that one can opt out. I am not interested in watching someone (who didn't even pass high school) fumble with their huge multimeter when all I want to knows is what a product looks like and how it works.
Sometimes I want to link a noob friend or family member to a specific product video... But most make me too embarrassed.
Oh and wheezing is a big fail!

Here's a video review of the Provari - good, solid stuff - but an intro of 1'17" 
Seriously, dude - a minute and seventeen seconds?

You neglected to mention sounds of domestic partners, children, and televisions in the background!
I consider what your looking for more of an overview, not a review. Which is fine thats all I need most of the time as well.
Its all quality over quantity when it comes to watching reviewers IMO. There are some that babble on and never make a single point the whole video.
