Mixer Recommendations

It seems my old Kitchen Aid 475 watt mixer has breathed its last breath. I am wondering how Breadtopia’s Ankarsrum mixer compares to the Kitchen Aid 8 qt “commercial” grade mixer ? ( KSM899ONP) I like to mix two loaves of bread per batch as well as two dozen bagels at one time, so I need heavy duty.
Bread baking is a passionate personal avocation which I thoroughly enjoy, However, I really don’t think machines like a Hobart N50 or the Globe SP10 are needed for my eight baking sessions per month.
I would appreciate some opinions and personal experiences with your mixing machines.
Thanks, Rick

I make 4 loaves or so at a time using a Bosch Universal Plus with great results. Comparatively, when attempting 2 loaves in my KitchenAid Professional 600 it caught fire. I am in a Bread Baking group on Facebook and the folks with the Anks positively love them. Good luck with your decision!
