Hi Margaret,
I used a KA 45 for years to make bread, etc and loved it, but I've 
been told they aren't as reliable as they used to be.  I did wind up 
killing mine kneading bread and I did most of the kneading by 
hand.   Since then, I have bought a Bosch Universal and absolutely 
love it.  I do almost all the kneading with it and love the 
bread.  You can make six loaves at a time, but it will also whip an 
egg white in the same bowl with no problem.  I usually make 4 loaves at a time.
Blessya' bunches from Linda
