you're all set for a cozy evening at home

Nothing will stand in the way of a cozy evening

Sounds like a heater.

Depending on the whole sentence...

maybe something like " [the appliance does all the work and] you can concentrate on having a cosy evening/allyou have to do is relax and enjoy your evening"??

Or "Thanks to the applicance you can look forward to a cosy evening" etc?

("cozy" in US English, "cosy" in UK!)
