C3 you can get for £225 here
They also have a - 10% if you trade in an electric appliance - haven't worked out what the restrictions are on that, but it's put a c3 back in the running. My only concern is the size. The pipe looks lovely to use, but the combo makes it a big package.

That £225 is after the trade in (it's pretty much any old junk from what I remember on the details of the trade-in, doesn't even need to be working).
It is a bit unwieldy to store, the body isn't that big but it's useful to have somewhere to hang the pipe if you want to store it neatly (although ours is just behind the bedroom door so we don't bother).
Mieles seem pretty indestructible and not that pricey in the scheme of things. Something like a C3 you can get for £225 here
