I have a damp cellar with some ventilation (air bricks to the outside)

I'd have thought a dehumidifier would be a better choice.

I had a dehumidifier and was thinking about getting an automatic pump,
because I was tired of emptying the tank every day and because it
would fill up and shut off when I was away --- but the dehumidifier
failed recently, so I'm looking for an easy, low-maintenance solution!

You can get dehumidifiers with pumps built in, failing that though an
automatic pump is an easy addition. You just want a condensate pump
from a plumbers merchants.
