Great Deep Fryer with one problem

I purchased this deep fryer several weeks ago, and have used it quite a bit. It cooks very evenly, and has a large/deep well. The basket is large, but is cheaply made, unlike the rest of the unit which is all stainless steel, and good quality. Not elite quality, not high quality, but good quality, as in acceptable/above satisfactory. There is really only 1 major issue with this unit, and that is the hood/cover. The vents in the top do their job well, but they are simply not big enough to prevent condensation which makes the window pretty much unusable. Also when using the basket, the cover will stick to the basket handle and requires two hands to remove from the unit, causing water condensation buildup to splash into the hot oil. The only saving grace to this is that the hood is somewhat protecting you from being scalded by boiling grease.
Overall, it's a great unit, given the price. Change the hood to include more vents, and not stick to the basket handle, and it would be excellent.
What's great about it: Cooks evenly, plenty of room for large batches.
What's not so great: Hood causes condensation/sticks to basket, Cheaply made basket
