Mine (KA 650, strongest available at that time) did not - the low amount
of 650 g bread dough (please figure out the cup amounts yourself -
hydration maybe >65%) ran under settings shown in manual, stressed the
machine so much that it started to smoke and had to be turned off. The
noise it made to hear was painful.
Having this mixer was an ongoing frustration!

Maybe the new dough hook they have now is better. Would it match the
Electrolux Assistent where I can make 3,500 - 4,000 g dough in one load
- never!

Would I ever buy a machine from Kichen Aid again - no!
Would I ever recommend using a KA machine for bread making - no!
Would I recommend staying away from using KA mixers for bread making -
absolutely!

Not sure why this "KA is <something positive>" comes up here again and
again.
