Hi guys looking for a dehumidifier for my small bedroom to keep it less damp when it's not too hot and when I don't want to use the aircon. Wondering what you guys would suggest? Looking for something under $300 if possible.

Or give them a call, they often have demo units on sale.
We've got a compressor type from these guys: https://www.ausclimate.com.au/products/dehumidifiers
Don't expect to get much sleep while they are running, just run it for a few hours before you go to bed.
All dehumidifiers should work in my opinion. Fairly simple principle. A bought a $15 one on gumtree or eBay a few years ago. Worked fine. The first time I ran it, it sucked about 2 litres of water out of my bedroom air.
Use the dehumidify option on the aircon.
Exactly this.
A dehumidifier is just a purpose-built aircon. The smaller the unit the less efficient, so a wall-mounted split will dry out a room more efficiently than a portable unit will. If you already have an aircon you save on both capital and running costs by using that instead.

I had air con in my old house (north brisbane) and never used the "air con" just the dehumifier. House was cool and comfortable throughout summer
How about the above one?
I have Ausclimate dehumidifiers as well as a Delonghi they all work very well, you can't really compare with AC's because with dehumidifiers the water is collected in a bucket whereas the AC's discharge it outside so you can't tell how much water it removes from the air.

Why would you even care.
Add a bucket to the AC discharge
Can’t go past the aus climate ones imo, unfortunately a fair bit over budget unless you get a super amazon special
