I'd like to know but you'd have to adjust for other factors to get a definitive answer for which is cheaper to run, for example, a condenser dehumidifier will pump out a bit of heat, and a heat pump drier will (I think) take a bit of the heat from the surrounding air.

Depends on the dryer. If you've got one of the new efficient ones (heat pump?) then the dryer is probably a bit cheaper. That will only dry your clothes though, not remove condensation, etc.
Obviously there's also some cheaper options. After a shower or when drying clothes I tend to close the door and open the window a little. Doesn't have much of an impact on the rest of the flat and lets some of that moisture out. In the morning I open a few windows to get a bit of air circulating. The heating isn't on and I'm off to work so it doesn't really matter if the flat gets a bit colder for half an hour.

Which uses more electricity - running a drying cycle or hanging up damp washing indoors and using a dehumidifier?
