Title: Excellent mixer for home bread making
Review: We initially purchased the Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer (325 watt) on sale (20% off) at a local mall store. Contrary to what Kitchen Aid claims the Artisan struggled to handle kneading 2 loaves of dough (which is what most standard recipes produce). About that time Amazon had the Professional class mixer (575 watt) in the merangue color on sale for less than we paid for the Artisan. So the Artisan quickly got returned and we purchased the professional. So far I've made about 20 batches of bread (40 loaves) and it does a great job kneading it. The Artisan motor would get over stressed and lock up, the professional just powers on through. You do always want to make sure you're not kneading over dry mixture, you want the dough to stick to the bottom of the bowl but not the sides and fold when the kneading hook works it. Great purchase so far, thank you Amazon!
