Extrêmement cher, même pour Kenwood, pour un produit qui est un bol froid avec une pale qui tourneTrès bonne qualité cependant, fait bien le travail

The original Kenwood box should normally be put in a brown Box, this was not. There where no damages on the Kenwood box, so it seemed ok. After the initial cleaning we could see the crack. A had already get rid off the box. i think the lid is changed with a damadged one before delivery. La caja original de Kenwood normalmente se debe colocar en una caja marrón, pero no fue así. No había daños en la caja de Kenwood, por lo que parecía estar bien. Después de la limpieza inicial, pudimos ver la grieta. Ya habíamos quitado la caja. Creo que la tapa se cambió por una dañada antes de la entrega.

At time of writing, just after this attachment was released, it’s being sold as exclusively for the Chef XL Patissier model (which is my machine) both here on Amazon and on the manufacturer website, but judging by the box and the way the manual is written it seems that this is compatible with other Chef versions. This is still a model with a liquid-filled bowl that requires 24 hours in the freezer before it can be used to churn frozen desserts, but quite a lot about the design and parts included with the attachment has changed.Unlike previous incarnations of the frozen dessert maker, which included a full-sized, round Kenlyte bowl designed to fit whichever model of machine you have, there is no main machine bowl supplied with this attachment. Instead, it’s designed to clip on to your existing bowl by means of a plastic frame and a silicone seal attached to it.There are two silicone seal pieces which can be used to connect this to the bowls from a range of machine models. You only need one of the seals, according to your machine model. The seals are incorrectly described in the manual as black and grey (they’re both grey, although one is darker than the other), but have labelled part letters on them to clearly disambiguate which one is needed. There is a list of models and which seal is compatible with which included in the box (I have photographed this to help others with deciding whether this attachment is suitable for their machine). For the Chef XL Patissier, you need seal B. On this model, the frame with the seal added to it fits on either the stand alone larger bowl size, or with the bowls stacked – but the attachment can’t be used with just the smaller bowl. The set up is more fiddly than that of the older style dessert maker.Unlike with some other versions of the frozen dessert maker, this comes with just one churning paddle. To use this with the Chef XL Patissier you need to remove both parts of the regular splash guard so that the guard that comes with this can be installed. The pouring slot is much shallower on the guard for this model than the slot on either the earlier Chef/Major attachments, and a bit fiddlier.As a pre-freeze bowl ice cream maker, this works quite nicely, and it actually fits my Chef Patissier properly, which the AT957A attachment didn’t (even though when I bought it, it was actively being recommended on the Kenwood World site for this machine). However, I think that with an RRP in excess of £70 it’s really expensive considering how pared down this attachment is versus earlier models. Kenwood have to be saving money by not including a bowl, yet the RRP on this is still more than £70 for an unpowered freezer bowl, paddle, cover, plastic clip, and a couple of silicone seals.
