Sorry to take 10 days to reply. I didn't have a reason to come back謔* just did on a whim.
My HD has lawnmowers just inside the door, slightly to the right. The chutes were on a floor display right in front of the elevated mower display.
I use the large leaf bags from Glad that they sell at Costco. THey'll fit over and hold 2 1/2 catchers full of clippings.

I've had my HRX2173HYA since early July, almost three months. I've always mulched. Circumstances caused me to go two weeks between mowing and I thought that I should bag the clippings.
What a shock! The HRX2173HYA collection bag won't go into the standard yard waste bag. With every other mower that I know of the user just lays the paper yard waste bag down, inserts the mower collection bag, stands the two upright and the clippings drop into the yard waste bag. Not possible with the HRX2173HYA.
How have other HRX2173HYA owners addressed this shortcoming?
True, but where I live they the city picks up the bags for free or you can take them to the dump yourself.Or empty it onto your compost heap .
Why spend a fortune om making high quality clippings they pay to have them taken away ?
