Yes, it can easily process smaller quantities and the mixing elements reach right to the bottom. We are very satisfied with the machine and can only recommend it.
I can't explain why. I often make doughs of 1kg flour with the Chef Patissier XL. It wobbles a little with firm doughs, but has never tilted or moved. However, it is a limit for the motor and drive; I had to replace the planetary gearbox after about a year and a half.
The pasta accessories, such as the pasta press and pasta attachment, are generally compatible with many Kenwood food processors that have a low-speed connection. However, the accessories are not suitable for the mixing connection of the Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL, as this machine has a different bowl size. It is advisable to check compatibility with the specific model to ensure that the accessories work correctly.
These are the two variants:
- https://www.kenwoodworld.com/de-de/titanium-chef-patissier-xl-kwl90-244si/p/KWL90.244SI
- https://www.kenwoodworld.com/de-de/titanium-chef-patissier-xl-kwl90-004si/p/KWL90.004SI (more expensive)
The more expensive version also comes with a food processor (see accessories in the link above). Apart from that, I don't see any direct difference.
The following items are included in the scope of delivery:
K-hook, dough hook, mixing element, 2x mixing bowl, whisk, spatula, splash guard, dough scraper
The following items can be purchased separately:
Mixing attachment (great for soups)
meat mincer

This item comes with the matching CH plug Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL (1400 W) and also with significantly more accessories.
This item comes with an EU plug + CH fixed adapter and has fewer accessories Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL KWL90.124SI (1400 W)
We have now revised the data again and given it as accurately as possible. It should now be clear in the descriptions and the specifications.
My question is perhaps a little specialised, but can anyone explain why the Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL is 3 kg lighter than the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL? Is the Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL stable enough? I also make hard doughs (e.g. wähenteig) with the food processor or knead bread doughs for over 15 minutes on the highest setting. The machine has to be able to cope with this. If not, I would do without the heating function and the lighting and go for the Baker. What do you think? Thank you in advance for your answers.
On the face of it, I can't tell at the moment, there's no number on the part itself and the pictures of the two are very similar.
But I assume that it is the AT502, as the Kenwood pages say that the AT502 is for the "XL & Major" models - and the AT501 says that it is for mixer size "Chef" (not "Chef XL"). (not "Chef XL") - the 502 lacks any size reference -- only in the English description the two parts are called "Creaming Beater Chef Size" and "Creaming Beater Chef XL Size". The German description by Kenwood is probably a little suboptimal here...
