I had an 250 watt Kitchen Aid for about ten years and it gave good 
service though it seemed a bit underpowered for kneading larger 
batches of dough.  For Christmas, my wife gave me a 325 watt model 
('Artisan') and it seemed to strain even more when kneading even a 
six cup flour recipe.  So I've had to upgrade to the 'Professional' 
level of Kitchen Aid.  Confirming this about two years ago, a cooking 
magazine (maybe Cooking Light) evaluated about 15 stand mixers and 
rated only the top level Kitchen Aid and a Hobart as 4 stars for kneading.
