Our take
LG's HB-2001BY is a discontinued bread maker with ten named modes: Russian Cook, Basic, Specialty, French, Rapid Bread, Cake, Jam, Dough, Yogurt, and Butter. The LG page gives a 1000 g maximum, while the exact model-family manual identifies a 1:59 Rapid Bread course, Dough at 1:03, three crust colors, a one-hour timer span starting at 4:10 and ending at 13:00, and three-hour Keep Warm. Butter and Yogurt have dedicated accessories: a butter lid and a yogurt fermentation container with lid. The timer is for bread or dough; Cake and Jam are excluded, and delay on Butter or Yogurt is not established. The manual specifies AC 230 V / 50 Hz, a 560 W heater, and a separate 100 W kneading motor. LG's 10-minute program-memory statement does not prove that a cycle resumes after a power cut. The historical Amazon ASIN B00QNFNN0K is not mapped to this exact electrical version, so use the tagged model search and verify the rating label.
Buyers specifically seeking Butter and Yogurt modes who can verify the actual rating label and confirm that a 230 V / 50 Hz unit is appropriate for their installation..
Not for shoppers needing a confirmed 120 V North American model, a dedicated Gluten-Free or Whole-Wheat program, automatic dispensing, dishwasher-safe parts, or a currently verified Amazon offer tied to B00QNFNN0K.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The manual names ten modes, including separate Butter and Yogurt cycles with their own accessories.
- Rapid Bread has a documented 1:59 runtime, and the machine offers three crust shades and up to three hours of Keep Warm.
- LG provides model-specific timer, care, and cycle instructions and identifies the 1000 g maximum.
What to weigh up
- The shared manual specifies AC 230 V / 50 Hz, which must be checked against the outlet and exact unit before purchase.
- Delay is limited to bread or dough and cannot be used for Cake or Jam; non-bread timing rules are not all documented.
- LG marks it discontinued, the historical Amazon ASIN is unmapped, and the 10-minute memory claim is not proven in-cycle recovery.

What the features mean for you
Exact model and a separate HB-2002BY code
LG's Russian HB-2001BY product page names the model and marks it discontinued. Its linked 211-page manual has an LG cover and document number P/No. 3828FB3201G and names both HB-2001BY and HB-2002BY. A shared manual does not prove that the two codes are interchangeable. The preserved Amazon candidate B00QNFNN0K did not load, and no independent source connects it to the inspected HB-2001BY electrical variant. Use the tagged model search and read the appliance rating plate on any offer. The current LG page and manual establish model features, but not a current Amazon variant, stock, or warranty status.
Bread, dough, butter, and yogurt modes
LG lists ten modes, including Russian Cook, Basic, Specialty, French, Rapid Bread, Dough, Jam, Cake, Butter, and Yogurt. The manual says Rapid Bread takes 1 hour 59 minutes and Dough takes 1 hour 3 minutes. Butter and Yogurt are distinct tasks supported by a butter lid and a lidded fermentation container, rather than recipe names inferred from other programs. The manual's ten-mode list contains no Gluten-Free or Whole-Wheat program, and the inspected recipe book has no Gluten-Free recipe. Rapid Bread is a yeast-bread cycle, not a separate chemically leavened Quick Bread mode. Five bread programs use audible prompts for hand-added ingredients; an automatic dispenser is not documented.
Capacity and timer use
LG describes a maximum 1000 g loaf, also labeled as 2 liters of capacity. The manual does not document multiple selectable loaf-weight steps, so do not read this maximum as a size-selector chart. The completion timer spans 4 hours 10 minutes to 13 hours and is described for bread or dough. The manual expressly excludes Cake and Jam, and does not establish delay support for Butter or Yogurt. Keep Warm can run for up to three hours after baking. The product page says program memory lasts ten minutes after power loss, but the manual advises trying to restart from the beginning if power is lost before the second rise. That advice does not confirm automatic in-cycle recovery.
Electrical, pan, and cleaning details
The LG manual specifies AC 230 V / 50 Hz, a 560 W heater, and a separate 100 W kneading motor; these ratings should remain distinct rather than being combined. It lists one kneading blade, a viewing window, a non-stick pan, butter lid, and yogurt container. LG says not to wash removable parts in a dishwasher, and the manual does not identify the pan substrate as ceramic. The model page lists dimensions of 347 × 231 × 352 mm and weight of about 7.3 kg. Those specifications apply to the LG-documented model variant, not automatically to the unverified historical Amazon candidate. Check the rating label and local electrical requirements before considering this product.
Who should consider it
The HB-2001BY may suit someone who specifically wants the uncommon Butter and Yogurt programs, a Rapid Bread cycle, and several other named non-bread functions. It is a poor fit for a buyer who expects a standard 120 V / 60 Hz U.S. countertop machine without checking the actual unit, or who requires a Gluten-Free mode, several verified loaf-size steps, automatic mix-in dispensing, or dishwasher-safe parts. LG marks the model discontinued; current parts, offers, and support can be limited. Keep HB-2001BY separate from HB-2002BY because their exact-code pages differ and the shared family manual alone does not establish an alias. Confirm the code and electrical rating before purchase.
What else to compare
Before you buy
What makes this model unusual?
LG lists dedicated Butter and Yogurt programs with a butter lid and a separate fermentation container.
What is the maximum loaf capacity?
LG lists 1000 g. The sources do not document separate selectable loaf-size steps.
Can the timer be used on every cycle?
No. It is listed for bread or dough from 4:10 to 13:00; Cake and Jam are explicitly excluded, and delay for Butter or Yogurt is not established.
Does it resume after a power loss?
LG says program memory lasts ten minutes, but the manual advises trying a restart from the beginning if power fails before the second rise. Automatic in-cycle recovery is not confirmed.
Is it a 120 V model?
The inspected LG manual specifies AC 230 V / 50 Hz. Verify the exact appliance rating plate and electrical compatibility.
Is B00QNFNN0K verified as this model?
No. The direct Amazon page failed and no independent ASIN-to-model crosswalk was found; use the tagged model search and check the exact code.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.
