Thanks for your response.

There's no way that I want the faff of such a thing - a rake is fine
for that sort of use - it's the picking up that causes my wife back
trouble.

But, as I say, garden vacs aren't much good when you have lots of
leaves as the bag fills up too quickly. Plus they're a bit iffy with
wet leaves which can clog up the grinder.

Yes, that's what I heard.

Might something like this solve the problem (which is presumably the
bending):
