I have a Ronco brand, very basic with no fan. I have been drying tomatoes this month and borrowed by friends Nesco American Harvast. It has a fan and temperature control. Much quicker and easier to clean. Love it. I have had so many sweet peppers this year, that I have been drying them, not enough canning jars, not enough money to buy more. Very interesting taste, think I will be using them on pizza and in sauces. Very sweet for snacking. Good luck.
