Meaco disagree with this now.
https://blog.meaco.com/why-desiccant-dehumidifiers-are-not-always-better-at-low-temperature/I looked at dessicant but they cost a bomb to run. The Meaco ABC I have seems to be doing ok at ~ 16 degrees.

They just cost what they consume. Major upside of the desiccant type is they output that heat into the room, super efficient if you do the science on it. So in a hot country yes extra heat is not what you want, but in the UK you just run them and offset it against your heating.
If you fire one in a room with a TRV controlled radiator your costs will be the same during heating season, if not a tad less as you are not heating the moisture suspended in the air.
If its just me in, I'll use a dehumidifier on in one room and close the door, 300w for a small/medium room is enough to keep me from being cold.

That appears to be a compressor type machine, in the UK where standard temps you'll be using it in are 10-22c, a desiccant type dehumidifier is the best choice. Source - Science.
Ecoair DD1 simple is I think what we've got a few of, super useful, they work just fine down to basically 0c. 300w or 600w modes. Removes excess moisture from air and creates bonus heat.
Compressor types are really more suited to hot countries (24-50c)
