Looks like Samsung only do heat pump tumble dryers, which are much more efficient.
Having said that, looking at the energy C rating vented models and A+++ rated tumble dryers, the vented model uses 377 more KWH per year, over 160 drying cycles. Using 15p per KWH, thats about £56 saving per year on electricity.
It would take me about 9 years to recoup the additional cost of a £800 tumble dryer on a purely energy saving comparison.

I appreciate you doing this calculation for me. I think I'm being dazzled by the wifi and the appliances "talking" to each other so the washing machine tells the dryer which cycle to use then they beep me on an app when they're done. Just need a little robot to go switch the load between the machines and I'm in IRL the Jetsons.

Yeah this and being scared about having it in a cold environment put me off. Plus they can't be DIY repaired as easily if that sort of thing is important to you.

Yeah I saw that the tumble dryers seem to be more - Will have to chat budgets again.
@hugo7 we're going to have to buy new and get it delivered I think. I'm in London now but moving to Lincoln so will be getting stuff sent straight there.
