Kenwood K25MSS11 Microwaves are £69.99 at Currys/PC World.
I bought one of these the last time that they were on offer and I really rate it at this price.
900W and 25L capacity.

Had one of these for a few years, just noticed a hole in the top inside.
However great size and power, so still using it :wink:

If you mean a large rectangular hole, that would presumably be the microwave waveguide aperture from the magnetron. Usually they have a mica waveguide cover to stop grease getting in, but I've noticed a lot of the cheap ones don't.

voted cold, as it is not really a deal: Currys always seem to have one or two of their "kenwood" branded microwaves on offer and the rest seriously over-priced, they just regularly switch the offer models to make it look like you are getting a really good price.
The one I paid under £70 for a couple or so years ago, is currently priced at £160, and this one looks very much like the model I went in to buy, but they'd just switched the offer model.

Let's see YOUR deal for a 25L 900W microwave for under £70 then.
You go and have a good look and let us all know.
That said, I still just bought the Kenwood :-P . My last microwave was a Daewoo, and I wasn't impressed with it.

So why put a link up for a Daewoo then?
And as for melted, he needs to take the 'ed' off his username.

My last Kenwood microwave rusted though in about 18 months.
That's after running a Sharp for about 10 years (back in the day when the Sharp badge was applied to Sharp microwaves only).

I really hate my kenwood microwave (see my comments here:) :- http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kenwood-microwave-currys-54-99-2679074?p=30752806), however fortunately for you it is not this model and the worse feature is the timer which is set with a knob. I think my last microwave might have been a matsui I picked up in Argos, was really good, cheap and lasted getting on for 20 years.

I wouldn't buy it though, because it has a knob instead of a keypad to set the timer.
Probably better to pay an extra 10-20 for a proper brand, which kenwood isn't.
Or how about a 31L 1000W for £65 http://www.sonicdirect.co.uk/prod/Microwave-Ovens/Daewoo-KOR1N0A-Family-Size-Microwave-Oven-in-White-11-cuft
Anyway, I wasn't saying that 70 isn't a reasonable price, just that its normal price should be more like £70 and not anything like £149.
I'm seriously temped to get one of these to replace it :- http://www.hotukdeals.com/visit?t=2701416&hukdm=44460&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonicdirect.co.uk%2Fprod%2FMicrowave-Ovens%2FDaewoo-KOR1N0A-Family-Size-Microwave-Oven-in-White-11-cuft
Like you said they keep changing the model on offer. £80 is about my budget. Need more than 20l and 800W and no dials. Tempted with this http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/microwaves/kenwood-k23cm13-combination-microwave-mirror-finish-19394353-pdt.html
