Buying guide
Napoleon Astound FlexMount
vs Entice
Choose the features you will notice, not simply the higher place in the range.
The decision
Make Astound’s premium specific.
We would move to Astound FlexMount when its spark-enhanced flame, supplied Beach Fire logs, open-sided possibilities and connected controls are the reasons for the purchase. Entice is worth keeping on the shortlist when you want a front-facing linear fire with adjustable color and a supplied crystal-media presentation.
The premium is not only a different mounting depth. It changes the starting look and the ways you can live with the fireplace. Compare the included packages and daily controls before deciding whether the upgrade deserves a place in the project.
Choose Astound FlexMount when…
You want the supplied log-and-media composition, spark effect and Napoleon Home platform. You may also want a corner or three-sided arrangement supported by its instructions.
Choose Entice when…
You prefer the crystal starting look and remote control of flame, color and heat. You do not need to buy connected features or an open-sided enclosure to get the result you want.
See the difference
The supplied media changes the first impression.
Astound FlexMount includes its Beach Fire logs and Woodland media. Entice includes clear acrylic crystals, with compatible log kits available separately. Compare those actual standard configurations rather than treating a photographed log arrangement as part of every Entice order.
Watch the flame effect and then look at the whole firebox. Astound’s spark effect and log composition are part of its appeal; Entice offers its own colored linear presentation. More visible height and an alternative media bed may change the room more than the feature count suggests.

The details that change the choice
The features behind the upgrade.
Use the same nominal 50-inch models for the starting comparison, but compare the actual appliance and opening dimensions separately. A matching width label does not make these appliances a drop-in substitution.
Astound FlexMount 50 includes five Beach Fire logs with its Woodland media kit. Entice 50’s standard clear acrylic crystals are a different starting package; an optional log kit should be priced and identified separately if chosen. The control upgrade has a practical consequence: Astound supports Napoleon Home and its documented integrations, while Entice’s supplied remote provides its listed everyday functions. Do not assume every Napoleon electric fireplace gains app control because another range has it.
Astound FlexMount and Astound Built-In are separate product choices. This article compares FlexMount’s documented configuration, not the specifications or options of the similarly named Built-In range.

A useful upgrade needs a reason.
Our take on Astound FlexMount
We like the upgrade when the customer wants the supplied logs, sparks or connected control enough to use them. Its installation flexibility is useful when it serves a specific room plan, rather than being an abstract promise of more choices.
Our take on Entice
Entice can be the more focused purchase for a front-facing crystal fire. We would start with Entice when its crystal bed, flame colors and remote deliver the look and everyday control you want. Add compatible logs only if that is the appearance you prefer.
Ratings cover the Napoleon Astound 50-inch FlexMount Electric Fireplace family.
What owners say
Owners give a good sense of how this fireplace lives in a room. One built a mantel around it and left all three sides exposed, enjoying the fire even when the room was already warm. Another chose the side glass for a narrow room, found the blower quiet in their installation and used the app and voice controls in place of the remote.
Ratings cover the Napoleon Entice 50-inch Electric Fireplace family.
What owners say
One buyer replaced a bulky TV cabinet and felt the living room opened up. Others liked the quiet fan, useful warmth and the ability to change the flame and crystal colors separately. Their installations varied: one hired an installer, while another needed more setup time than expected. A buyer who wanted phone control used the manual controls as a backup to the remote.
Plan the whole project
Choose the model before the mounting method.
Decide whether the fireplace will be wall-mounted, partially recessed or fully recessed, then follow that model’s instructions. Supported visible-side arrangements and framing details differ. A plug-in option for one method does not mean every recessed project is a plug-and-play installation.
If app or voice operation matters, check network/setup requirements and the functions supported by the exact Astound model. The optional wall controller is not the same as the included remote.

Good questions
A clearer choice.
Does Entice include the log set shown in some photographs?
The compared current Entice includes clear acrylic crystals. Compatible decorative log kits are optional; check the exact package before ordering.
Is this the Astound Built-In model?
No. This article concerns Astound FlexMount. Use the FlexMount manual and matching product when planning installation.
Does every Napoleon electric fireplace use the same app?
No. Verify connectivity for the exact family. Do not infer app support for Entice from Astound’s Napoleon Home functions.
