I used a Kitchenaid for years, and was reasonably happy with it. Two years ago I switched to the Ankarsrum Assistent, and I think it does a much better job. It’s larger capacity allows me to make a dough with two kilos of flour at once. I think that the Assistent can handle three kilos of flour, but my oven cannot. I also highly recommend Jeff Varasano’s “wet kneading” method: http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm. He, of course, uses it for pizza dough, but I find that it produces a better bread dough in general. By the way, Electrolux DLX is another name for the Assistent.
