AIRBELT E3 Premium
Ultra-durable, 10-year warranty, but expensive with short cord.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I’ve got the 581 also. They really dropped the ball on that. Just today I was thinking if I could reuse the guts somehow
Would you mind sharing how you modified it for a bag? I like my 581, but the filter clogs so quickly.
In my experience if you’re going corded, Rigid are probably the best shop vacs I’ve seen. I have a couple of the corded/cordless combo Dewalt vacs that are really handy for small stuff on the move but if you want a bit more power go Rigid
I like my dewalt 20v one for small stuff. it plugs in or can use the battery. light and portable, but still suction for whatever mess from smaller jobs.
I have the DeWalt, it works well. The straight tube extensions like to slide out of their storage clips on the side though.
After having owned the DCV581H, I would not recommend it. Great runtime on batteries and a corded option(hardly used it) but it’s pretty weak, not a great form factor for storage/organization, top heavy and likes to fall over which causes the water float ball to get sucked up and block suction. I got the M12 vacuum and vastly prefer it.
