Our take
The KBS MBF-013 manual names 19 programs: Soft Bread, Sweet Bread, Natural Sourdough, French Bread, Whole-Wheat, Quick Bread, Sugar-free, Multigrain, Milky Loaf, Cake, Raw Dough, Leaven Dough, Jam, Bake, Yogurt, Gluten-Free, Sticky Rice, Stir-fry, and Ferment. It lists 500 g, 750 g, and 1000 g size labels and rates the machine at 1000 g, but contradicts itself about whether the LOAF selector is available on menus 1–9. The manual and retailer's 1/1.5/2 lb descriptions therefore do not create a reliable course-by-course selector chart. It documents a fruit dispenser, one stirring rod, a 15-minute power-memory feature, and up to one hour of Keep Warm. Reservation is specified for menus 1–9, 11, 12, 16, and 17; some menus are explicitly excluded, while menus 10 and 13 remain unclear. The manual gives 650 W and the listings give 710 W. The manual does not establish a 15-hour maximum. Similar KBS 013A material is not transferred, and neither historical Amazon ASIN is verified for this model.
Cooks interested in a broad named menu and multiple non-bread functions who can consult the model manual for the selected cycle and accept unresolved electrical, timer, and product-variant details..
Not for buyers who need a settled selector/program pairing, verified 710 W power, an exact 15-hour timer limit, confirmed 013A accessory equivalence, or an Amazon page tied to either historical ASIN.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The MBF-013 manual provides a named 19-menu table spanning bread, Gluten-Free, Whole-Wheat, Quick Bread, dough, fermentation, Jam, Cake, Yogurt, Sticky Rice, and Stir-fry.
- It documents a fruit dispenser, three crust colors, one-hour Keep Warm, and a manual-described power-memory feature.
- Reservation eligibility is explicitly given for several menu groups, and the manual identifies the machine as a 1000 g rated-capacity model.
What to weigh up
- The LOAF-selector sentence conflicts with later operating instructions, so the listed gram sizes cannot be confidently assigned to every cycle.
- Manual wattage is 650 W versus 710 W in current product listings, and the manual does not provide the advertised 15-hour timer maximum.
- KBS's 013A listing repeats MPN MBF-013 but has distinct accessory claims; neither preserved Amazon ASIN is verified.

What the features mean for you
The MBF-013 identity and neighboring catalog entries
KBS's product page identifies item 013 with manufacturer part MBF-013, and the 22-page manual names MBF-013 in its title and technical specifications. Walmart Canada also lists KBS and model MBF-013, giving a separate current retailer identity cross-check. Those sources establish the model, but not either preserved Amazon ASIN: B07RWGPQ2Z and B09M7YTPD4 could not be verified. Keep them as historical candidates and use the tagged exact-model search. KBS's separate 013A product page also repeats part number MBF-013, but its two-rod and ceramic-pan claims conflict with the MBF-013 manual and no direct retail crosswalk proves one product identity. Group 77's generic KBS machine is likewise not linked to this model.
Nineteen named menu entries
The model manual's numbered list includes everyday bread, Whole-Wheat, Quick Bread, Sugar-free, Multigrain, and Gluten-Free, as well as Cake, Raw Dough, Leaven Dough, Jam, Bake, Yogurt, Sticky Rice, Stir-fry, and Ferment. This is a concrete list of functions rather than a vague count. KBS's sales copy describes 17 practical settings plus other functions and does not line up exactly with the manual; use the manual's 19 numbered entries. The separate 013A page and newer generic KBS pages contain claims that are not transferred. The manual gives Bake an adjustable 10–70 minute duration and lists durations for some dough and specialty programs, but Quick is described as under 1.5 hours only in product copy, not in the inspected program instructions.
Capacity and selector instructions conflict
The manual lists 500 g, 750 g, and 1000 g loaf labels and specifies 1000 g rated capacity. KBS and Walmart describe 1 lb, 1.5 lb, and 2 lb, broadly corresponding to those figures. However, one manual sentence says the LOAF control is not adjustable for menus 1–9, while other instructions identify menus 1–9 and 16 as bread recipes and direct users to choose weight and crust. This internal conflict means the listed sizes should not be presented as available on every menu. The three Light, Medium, and Dark crust choices are documented, but the manual does not consistently explain course eligibility. Check the exact menu instructions and control panel before treating any size or shade as a hard match.
Reservation and power claims need qualification
The manual specifies Reservation on menus 1–9, 11, 12, 16, and 17. It excludes menus 14, 15, 18, and 19; it does not explain whether menus 10 and 13 can use the function. The manual gives no maximum delay duration, while KBS and Walmart marketing claims up to 15 hours. Do not treat that number as a manual-confirmed limit. The manual says not to use Reservation with eggs because they may deteriorate. It also documents up to one hour of Keep Warm and continuation after power loss up to 15 minutes. Power is separately disputed: the manual gives 650 W at 110–120 V / 60 Hz, while KBS and Walmart state 710 W. The profile retains each source's value instead of selecting one by assumption.
Dispenser and appropriate buyer
The manual shows an automatic fruit dispenser and describes fruit addition at an appropriate time. It also says a continuous kneading buzzer can remind users to add material, without explaining which courses use the dispenser and which require manual addition. The parts list shows one stirring rod; do not transfer the two-rod claim from 013A. KBS and Walmart call the MBF-013 pan non-stick, but the manual does not identify its coating or call it ceramic. Dishwasher safety, dimensions, assembled weight, and warranty terms are not established by the manual. This model may suit a cook who values a clearly named set of specialty programs and can check the selected cycle against the instructions. It is less suitable when exact loaf-selector support, power draw, timer maximum, or current Amazon identity must be settled before purchase.
What else to compare
Before you buy
How many programs are named?
The model manual lists 19 numbered menus. KBS's product copy summarizes them differently; use the exact manual list rather than adding 013A or generic product claims.
What loaf sizes does the machine support?
The manual lists 500 g, 750 g, and 1000 g and rates capacity at 1000 g. Its LOAF-selector instructions conflict, so the size-to-program pairing is not fully established.
What is the maximum delay?
KBS and Walmart claim up to 15 hours, but the MBF-013 manual does not state a maximum. It identifies eligible and ineligible menus and warns against eggs with Reservation.
Is MBF-013 the same as 013A?
The catalog pages separately title 013 and 013A but repeat part number MBF-013. The 013A accessory details differ, and no source establishes that they are the same retail variant.
Which wattage is correct?
The model manual specifies 650 W; KBS and Walmart listings state 710 W. Preserve that conflict until a reliable model label or updated manual resolves it.
Are the historical Amazon ASINs verified?
No. B07RWGPQ2Z and B09M7YTPD4 remain unmapped; use the tagged MBF-013 search and verify the model on any offer.

The decision
The KBS MBF-013 manual names 19 programs: Soft Bread, Sweet Bread, Natural Sourdough, French Bread, Whole-Wheat, Quick Bread, Sugar-free, Multigrain, Milky Loaf, Cake, Raw Dough, Leaven Dough, Jam, Bake, Yogurt, Gluten-Free, Sticky Rice, Stir-fry, and Ferment. It lists 500 g, 750 g, and 1000 g size labels and rates the machine at 1000 g, but contradicts itself about whether the LOAF selector is available on menus 1–9. The manual and retailer's 1/1.5/2 lb descriptions therefore do not create a reliable course-by-course selector chart. It documents a fruit dispenser, one stirring rod, a 15-minute power-memory feature, and up to one hour of Keep Warm. Reservation is specified for menus 1–9, 11, 12, 16, and 17; some menus are explicitly excluded, while menus 10 and 13 remain unclear. The manual gives 650 W and the listings give 710 W. The manual does not establish a 15-hour maximum. Similar KBS 013A material is not transferred, and neither historical Amazon ASIN is verified for this model.
