Cold Press Juicer Test Library | Torus Australia
The Torus Test Library documents repeatable performance tests carried out using Torus cold press juicers. Each test follows a consistent methodology and records measurable results including produce quantity, juice yield, extraction time, cleaning time and observations. Supporting videos document each test and are published as a permanent record of the results. Some videos include general information about the nutritional composition of the produce being tested. This educational commentary accompanies the documented performance measurements.
Video Policy: Tests are recorded as continuous procedures without cuts. Some sections may be played at increased speed where no information is lost, purely to reduce viewing time. Where required, a single cut may occur after juicing to reposition the camera for pouring the juice into a glass. Published timings are the actual measured times and are not affected by accelerated playback.

What These Tests Show
Across these tests, the Torus Solo processed a range of soft, hard, fibrous and leafy produce, as well as almonds for nut milk. The recorded tests document juice yield, processing time, cleaning, assembly and disassembly, with no clogging observed during the juicing tests shown. Results are presented as measured, including variations in yield and instances where the tamper was required.
Together, the tests provide a documented performance record across multiple everyday uses rather than relying on individual product claims.
