Dehumidifier Recommendations

[pinkw6]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a dehumidifier to dry laundry please.I have been offered a tumble dryer but its 10 years old and I'm thinking this may cost far more to run than a dehumidifier but then it depends on how much the dehumidifier Is to buy I suppose😏

My twenty year old tumble dryer cost less to run because it was so much quicker than my new one. It did shrink everything (got into the habit of buying a size up) and clothes would be red hot at the end, but it was cheaper to run. new condenser dryer takes 2-3 hours to dry a load and costs more, but nothing is shrunk.

If it's free, it might work out cheaper than the dehumidifier which aids drying, but can cost a bit if it's on for a long time. And they're expensive new.

It’s a tricky one,I’ve been thinking about a heated airer plus a humidifier but wondering about the cost as they’ll be on for hours.
My tumble dryer is not a heat pump one and dries clothes so quickly.

if you get one go for a low energy one, meaco do a range, I have a 10L which runs at 160w I believe- they can draw a fair bit though so deffo check the energy rating and choose one off that rather than getting a cheap one- it'd be a false economy the way things are going.
