Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states, next to a 400 sq ft coverage claim. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

33 in firebox. A compact firebox: more of a glow in the mantel than a roaring fire, which suits a smaller room.

1,500 W, up to 400 sq ft claimed. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. The 400 sq ft figure is the seller's; real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

10 flame colors, 10 ember-bed colors. Classic orange for winter evenings, something bolder when friends are over, or just the embers glowing behind a movie. How real each setting looks is for your eyes to judge in the photos and videos; the count is the seller's. Our flame effects guide sorts the settings you'll use from the ones you'll forget.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, a 400 sq ft coverage claim is pitched at a main room, not a box room. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round. The app or Alexa can start the fire before you are even home. A mantel is a centrepiece, with a shelf for the photos and the stockings.

For a bedroom or a study, the timer switches it off after you fall asleep. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.

On balance it is a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.

Great for you if…

You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
You like to change the mood of the room
You like to run the living room from your phone

Skip it if…

You want the width stated up front: the listing we read gives no width
You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package is a 33-inch firebox, closely followed by 1,500 watts of supplemental heat. No buyer reviews yet, so the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Modern Ember electric fireplace with mantel: no stated width in the listing, while most picks here give one. We'd pick the Modern Ember if you want the chill off one room on cold evenings; otherwise, put it next to the Country Living Dixson Mantel Package first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check how many boxes arrive. Keep the anti-tip hardware where you can find it; it goes on before anything goes on top.

The first evening

Run through the flame colors once, then settle on the one that suits the room. The 1,500 W heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, the timer for bedtime, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package ships: check the wall, because a mantel is bigger in the room than in the photo, and the listing we read gives no clear width.

Before you buy

Your wall

Tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest.

The firebox inside

33 in firebox, per the listing. Check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one.

The outlet

120 V, per the listing. Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Assembly day

Mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package any good?

We rate it 6.8/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package state?

Its listing states a 1,500 W heater output, a 120 V supply and recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package need?

The listing states 120 V and a 1,500 W heater. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package?

Its listing states a 33-inch firebox, a 1,500 W heater, 10 flame colors, Alexa and app control, a flame that runs without the heat and a timer. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.

What should I check before ordering the Modern Ember Arrie Smart Package?

Your wall: tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest. The firebox inside: 33 in firebox, per the listing. Check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one. The outlet: 120 V, per the listing. Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask. Assembly day: mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.
