Modern Ember builds electric fireplaces with a focus on clean, integrated design. The Aerus 72-inch model stands out because of its installation flexibility. You can mount it directly on your wall or recess it flush for a built-in look that disappears into your living space.

In daily use, the smart functionality is practical. Connecting to Wi-Fi for voice control via Alexa means you can adjust the flame or heat without searching for the remote. The remote itself gives you direct command over the heat range from 68° to 88°F, and you can run the realistic flame effects without any heat for year-round ambiance. The unit is corded-electric, so placement requires planning for an outlet.

The painted metal finish feels solid and contemporary. It’s a straightforward heating solution for a medium-sized room, not a whole-home furnace. For a streamlined focal point with smart-home convenience, the Aerus delivers without unnecessary complication.
