Hi Barb,

You asked about the KA versus Bosch Universal mixers.  I have a Bosch 
Concept 7 not the Universal but they are quite similar in operation.  I can 
say without reservation and from personal experience that the Bosch will 
out perform the KA hands down.  It'll easily handle small two loaf batches 
as well as large batches of four or five loaves.  I've made white, whole 
wheat, rye and everything in between.  I've never been able to strain the 
machine even the slightest bit and my bread quality made a step change for 
the better after I started using it.  It's predecessor, a KA on the other 
hand has stripped its little guts out twice while using it totally within 
the guidelines of the manufacturer for kneading dough.  The KA is a fine 
mixer for cake batter, cookies and other light duty jobs and we still use 
it for that.  For bread dough however, get a heavy duty machine, you'll 
never regret it.  And, speaking of heavy duty, you might also want to look 
into the Magic Mill DLX.  I understand that it is a fine piece of equipment 
as well.

If you do decide to buy the Bosch and have any questions about it's 
operation, please don't hesitate to drop an e-mail.  I'd be glad to help in 
any way possible.

Good luck with your search and...

Happy Baking!!!
