    Just had too, well worth the £40, good quality cooking pot, and frying pan, just one little complaint, no screwdriver, if you had to strip it down for any reason, you get a spanner/key, but no screwdriver, to take the 3 screws out to take guard out, so, to correct this major problem, I will have to bodge it, the key, file down one side so the it fits into the screw, job done, but 99 out of 100, ps, they even give you a cleaning pad, now to go suck some petrol out of me next door car :)

    #JP2 , cheers, might get one at a later date, but, playing around with me Lixada, the 3 legs, the ones you put the pots on, they have a high and low setting, just pull them up for high setting, and they lock in, push down low setting,

    That was an useful tip!

    Pulling the legs up to the high setting helps with anything that has heat exchanger fins on the bottom as they tend to put the flame out too early and when running wide out it causes a bit of a partially unburnt gas smell. It helped out with a kettle that I had and it let the Lixada run wide open without odor (granted, windy day so maybe there's a little odor still when running flat out).

    Having the legs in the high position also effectively widens the flame pattern out as well which helps for distributing heat.

    They do "wobble" freely so having the legs rotated out doesn't help much for stability as they're effectively like stilts.

    I did check mine and I don't have it. Can I see a picture to compare?
    Here is mine.

    You just "pull" on the leg (I use the valve key to get more gripping area) and it comes out of the lower bracket but the little notch on the leg prevents it from easily pulling out of the upper bracket.

    See how the bottom of the pot support leg isn't visible in the lower portion on the right side? That's the leg in the upper position.

    @ all: There is good news, the Lixada is back!!! It had disappeared for a long time and could not be ordered. Sorry for my English. I've just registered here in the forum but haven't introduced myself yet.
    Well, does anyone want to know where to order it? I already have it here, the new Lixada. And I know its weaknesses and how to fix them. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the contributions so far and who has contributed a lot of interesting information. I have been a silent reader so far.

    Kind regards, Lars

    I hope it's okay if I quickly "unload" a few links here where you can order the stove and all the (in my opinion) important accessories. Otherwise, I can also tell you a few things about my new arrival, but more about that later. In a nutshell: it's really good. It doesn't have any real weaknesses.
    The Lixada is now called iWalker, which is nothing new. Someone else had already written about it. And now it's not only available on Taobao but also on Ali. It's only been there for a few days and I fear the price will go up again.

    Tomorrow I can tell you more about the new stove. Grab it before it's too late.
    It's currently available in the UK, which it wasn't until the day before yesterday. I was already planning to order it "home". If anyone in the UK needs help ordering from Ali or has never done it before, I can do it for you (cash in advance).

    Some stainless steel types ARE magnetic, for example a S/S pot/saucepan/Wok would need to be made from a magnetic S/S to work on an induction stove. Apparently 304 and 316 S/S is magnetic, Both of my S/S pressure cookers are also Induction ready i.e. magnetic. Neither of my Pressure cookers are triple layered bases, which has a Steel/Iron core , Which is another way non magnetic materials can be used for induction stove compatibility.

    As said, not all SS is non-magnetic.

    I'm still waiting for my iwalker/Lixadia stove to arrive, I ordered it with the silent burner as standard. I've also got the pump and replacement fuel cap coming, but that is on the slow boat so it will be a fair while before I get that. I ordered the stove mid February so I am getting a bit impatient now, Ali express used to be a lot faster with deliveries before we left the EU, anything over a month was unusual.

    Had my Iwalker a while now, It differs slightly from the Lixada, The fuel filler has been redesigned unfortunately, and the fuel cap and pump available for the Lixada doesn't fit, Don't ask me how I know LOL.
