Dehumidifier
Can anyone please recommend a reasonably priced and effective dehumidifier?

Mine is an MeacoDry Arete® One 10L Dehumidifier / Air Purifier × 1, I paid around £130.
It does what I bought it for very, very well. It is quiet in normal modes but has a silent mode for when it is used in a bedroom. It is energy efficient, I monitor my electricity usage daily. We are very satisfied with it and would buy it again.
It has a laundry mode which we found a bit disappointing but we were trying to dry very wet, very thick towels and blankets. It is a little noisier in that mode but you wouldn't be able to hear if the utility door is shut.
Personally I wouldn't buy a dehumidifier just for drying off laundry, especially not at the top end price you are prepared to pay. When our tumble dryer needs replacing we will buy a heat pump dryer which uses considerably less electricity than a standard dryer, although it takes longer.
