I hate racking and burning too. Bought a vacuum/shredder 10 years ago. We have acreage and dump the shredded leaves out back for compost. I have the Premier 240 size, works great.

Until last week...never. Last week we had near constant rain in some amount for 3 days and ALL the leaves came down in that time period. We were predicted to have freezing temps overnight and only mid thirties for the next 3 days after that, so I vacuumed the leaves wet, before they froze down. I had water running out of the tube, shredder impeller and the discharge screen on the trailer. I can't blame the vacuum for what I subjected it too and it still did far better than I had hoped. It has a 6 hp engine spinning a heavy, fabricated, shredder and it pulls a LOT of vacuum thru the 8" tube. No complaints from me on it's performance for 10 years.
