I've always used a conventional chipper/shredder to mulch leaves. Mine broke and I'm going to replace it. The new leaf vacuums (the big rolling monsters that Sears sells for $500+) sound good. How well do they work with a LOT of leaves. We have 80 year old trees and get buried.

They work pretty well, just a little slower if leaves are real wet, also if you are picking up leaves over mulch, be careful because it will pick that up as well.

Do Leaf Vacuums Work

i want to recommend the toro super blow and vac. it runs about $60.00 and is far and above the rest of them out there. it is smartly designed, works extremely well as a blower, and very well as a vacuum. i use the vac set up for the window wells around my house, the lily of the valley, and pachysandra beds. actually, use it carefully, it will suck up wood chips and small rocks, too. it may just work too good! i have had 2 others before this and was disappointed with them. as a blower it is almost as good as the ones my brother uses for his landscaping business, for a lot less, too. well i hope this helps, consider toro, good luck.

They would probably work, you can buy a think that pushes the leaves into a holder and pull that behind your mower. I think it is called a lawn rake. They are a lot cheap and will even pick up grass clipping.
