I was a little concerned when I took it out of the box, as the flange and mount are ISE. I would have been super PI**ED if this was just another redressed ISE!!

WHEW!!
with the guard removed, it does not look much like ISE inside. The disk is solid cast, and very similar but not exact to Hobart's design

Is that what you are going to hook up the KDS-17 to? It doesn't look like it has a wham-jam button. Does it use a wrench to unjam? Is it auto-reversing?

this is the smaller model,
3/4 HP motor, auto reversing, with the jam wrench. The TOL model has the *wham Jam* button in addition to the wrench, and is 1.0 HP

Very nice Jeff! I will be looking forward to hearing how you like it!
I almost went and tried to find one of these but in the end went with the 1HP 777 ISE. I also considered the Waste King as I may have mentioned, but I would have had to send away for it, and someone was available to do the work right away so I got the ISE at Homo Depot.
I'm very happy with it. It's nice and quiet and I think it will be great for what I need. The sink flange has the new style logo which made me happy. I also got a new 8" sink to replace the cheap kaka 6" $39 one, and the Dishmaster faucet that I wanted and love.

installed and running
30 minutes to install it, fitting perfectly with the existing pipes.
The motor is whisper quiet, it sounds like and ISE motor, very smooth, AND its capacitor start!
as a test I fed it a lemon and a couple of potatoes. They disappeared pretty quick, with NONE of the clunking impeller sounds normally heard with an ISE.
so far so good, and yes Fred, it will be connected to the KDS17.
Can't wait to get that installed!

Next model up is:
$349 I believe... this one was $299.
In all the years I've had disposals I've never had one jam on me...well unless my mom uses it...

Congrats on the new "kid", Jeff! That KitchenAid will look beautiful paired with this new disposer. Maybe you should put a glass door in the cabinet so it can be admired now - very impressive!

well...
The store I bought this from had one of the old Hobart style ones left, priced at $425. I would have bought it, but I think it was too large, and the drain outlet too low to work in my kitchen.
The KDS-17 will be installed sometime next month, when I was at Fred's this past Sunday we removed the front panels and I have given them to my dad to paint. Currently the KDS17 is coppertone, but will be black for my kitchen, and should blend in perfectly.
I have always felt that fixed hammer disposals were better than the swivel ones, so we'll see how this one fares.

Thanks for the information Jeff. When you see those prices you can see why builders today put those cheap ass disposals in new construction. The last time I was at the new house they still hadn't put the disposal in but I am betting that it is a 39.00 GE.LOL That KDS17 is going to look stunning in your kitchen, can't wait to see pictures.

Looks like a beauty Jeff. Just keep the bones out of there. The disk is different from the old Hobarts, but it looks very solid. There is more insulation around the body than the old hobart MOL, too.
