  Just buy a cheap small tumble dryer & put in it any room you can fit it. That will actually take up far less space than the next suggestion I'd offer…drying rack & fan-heater! ;)

  A buddy of mine used to have one in his living room, drying clothes & heating the room at the same time, he didn't mind the mugginess for the convenience! :)

  A dehumidifier would be pretty useless for clothes drying, simply dehumidifying the ambient air in the room would have negligible effect on your laundry!

    drying rack & fan-heater

    Or if it's not cool enough for a heater, even just a box fan will do the job.

    It's not going to solve your problem altogether, but if you're needing clothes dried sooner, spread out a clean, dry bath towel and lay your item out upon it. Spreading neatly will avoid wrinkles. Next, roll up your towel (including the item) lengthways, and then twist it as hard as you can. This will remove a LOT of the moisture from your item.

    You're still going to have damp towels to deal with, but if it means the difference between having dry clothes to wear and not, might be of help.

    You could also iron them on the 'dry' setting on your iron, at the appropriate heat setting for the material involved, of course. I wouldn't do this with a saturated item, but when they mostly dry it will help finish them off, and will make ironing easier. (NEVER attempt to iron a new pair of jeans dry, or you'll be up for a new iron.)

  Dehumidification with an Air Con still needs the unit to "cool".

  And as Stewballs says, unfortunately it won't work anyway.

  You could get one of those combined washer/dryers in the one unit if space is that limited. But they are pretty pricey.

  I doubt the dehumidifier would work apart from use a lot of electricity.

  I can relate as I've had two wool jumpers "drying" in the bathroom over a towel rack for over a week now. LOL I've dried clothes with my hair dryer a few times when I got super desperate. Not recommended.

  I think you'd be best off buying a washer/dryer unit together.

  in my unit the dryer is fixed above the top loading washer (there is about 2 feet gap between the top of washer and bottom of the dryer to enable easy opening/loading of washing. I think it would be a bit of a job to get one fixed this way though and not sure if it would be cheaper than replacing current washer with a washer/dryer combo.

    i recently put up a dryer above my washer

    you are going to need some helping hands to lift it up..not because of the weight its just awkward with no holds to grip onto

    would recommend someone with "some" know how to install the mounting kit though…. it can stuff up so easily…..

    That sounds like a great idea. Would it be far cheaper to run one of these in laundry mode than a regular spin dryer?
