Garden vacuum for leaves

Annie1960

Can you recommend a decent garden vac? I'd like one that shreds the leaves, and preferably one that is cordless.

Annie I've never had one that shreds them but there was a recent thead with all sorts of answers. 
While you're waiting it may be worth a look.
I can't attach links on the gizmo I'm using.

I have one of these

It works well on leaves and is cheap (£55)
It shreds and compacts

I have a hyundai leaf blower/vaccum.  Its good for dry and minimal amount of leaves, else it gets jammed.  If I was not going to get the hyuandai, I would have gone for the makita (cordless) 
I have a huge horse chestnut tree,  used the lawnmover to pickup and shred the leaves.  You dont need to rake them, as it makes it more difficult.
