I decided to stop and take a look at the vavuums at Walmart to kill some time and on an end cap I came across this!

I hope Wal-Mart is carrying the bags for these.

Why is that? Did they discontinue these bags?
I've never seen Oreck magnesium bags at Walmart. I hope since some locations are carrying the vacuum. I'm hoping Walmart would carry the bags as well.
The upside down pictures are an iPhone thing. I've had the same problem myself.

Omg lol
I actually have a Galaxy note 10+... So it's not just an iPhone thing then. I uploaded them as a verticle photo, but that's how they ended up. Assumed you'd get the idea, so I left them since I can't change it. Im 99% sure that these magnesiums are just to assist TTI in selling them off. I don't believe oreck is making a long term deal with Walmart. The vacuum came with 3 bags. If you go on walmart.com you can look up oreck RS (I typed in oreck magnesium and found nothing) and they will show that only 4 or less are available at your local store. No shipping is available because it's in store only. Amazon also has this for 249 and it is sold by and shipped by Amazon. I told myself that if I felt it was just average I wasn't going to keep it. And I'm keeping it, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Hmm
I have a Galaxy S8 that I've been using for a while now and I haven't had a problem with uploading pictures on here until now. Probably just a website issue hopefully.
Anyways that being said, mine had started carrying the Magnesium as well. I think this is the first time I've seen a department store selling Orecks since Target sold the XL Signature and XL Singature Plus but I could be wrong because I don't remember seeing other models after that one time in department stores.

Yes!
in my video I just posted on YouTube, I mentioned that also. Probably 10 plus years ago Target did sell those oryx, I believe they sold them in a power team possibly? For like three or four hundred dollars? All I remember is they were all black with either orange or blue font. I really believe that it's because orrick had a surplus of these similar to how Hoover had a surplus of Hoover WindTunnel self-propelled a few years back because I got one for $80 brand new at big lots. I went back to Walmart today with my mom and they still had three of these on the shelf. I don't think that Walmart will be selling these, I think that this is just a way to get rid of them. As oddly designed as this machine is, I didn't expect it to clean as well as it does! If you have the means, I'd highly suggest picking one up!

The only thing I find a little weird about the Magnesium RS is that it has a little battery in the handle and the switch is actually a remote that tells the vacuum to turn on to high or low speed. The earlier version (LW-100) just had a chrome button in the middle of the handle to turn it to high or low.
Hmm
I have a pixel 4xl the note is slightly better because it was released later. The pixel camera is better though. Its resolution of it's pics until recently was highest out there. It rotates photos most recently. I'm guessing higher photo reduction goods up the photo loader on this site.

Went to my local Walmart (Central Colorado) today.
Didn't see a single Oreck product. Disappointed that there's a LW1500rs for sale.
I had one back in the day and flipped it to a customer I wish I had kept it now.

I was in Walmart the other day.
I HATE to shop there, but, sometimes you have to. They had a LOT of Oreck vacuums there. They had very few Hoovers, however.
I always do a quick scan.
I DID see quite a few Hoover Pulse, and cruze vacs at Ollies. Never a pleasant shopping experience there, but, at times, some great bargains.
I've gotten gazebos for the VCCC convention in 2022 there. I figured it would be better to have some of these items I'll use rather than to rent them . I also will have the tables, lights, etc. The only thing we might have to rent would be chairs.
But, I always scan the vacuum aisle at Wallyworld!!!!
HATE that store!! And, I never use HATE, as, it is a very harsh word.

That's odd
I'm surprised they don't have any at your store. It seems like many people have 4 at their local Walmart.
That's awesome about Ollie's! I was there yesterday and also saw the Hoover you're talking about, several sharks, and the eureka floor rover. I went to buy a spin mop or one of the new mops that are flat and you wring it out by sliding it in and out of the bucket. Alas they had NONE!

Umm
Vacuum devil you may think you regret getting rid of the oreck but your not. I don't think it's possible to own a central vac in central Colorado and even remember the oreck.
I do wish more Hoover's should be made. They were America's giant for a long time. Oreck owners lived a long time and they could pick up their bowling ball with it.
Meh.

Found my Oreck Magnesium at my Walmart for $189
Wow guys!
I didn't find this thread as it was way down on the list and I've not been around this site for a while since the house fire.
I did however finally venture into a Walmart (the Pandemic has kept me home) anyway, when I walked to my favorite aisle.. there they were Four Boxes of the Oreck Magnesium RS!! They were priced $249 but with Yellow Clearance Stickers marked down to $189 so I jumped on it and put the best looking box in my cart and checked out. If I was back in my home (it's still under construction from the fire) I would have probably bought two of them just to keep one, new in box. Anyhow, my Walmart and Four other Walmart stores within 40 minutes from my house, all showed these lovely Oreck Magnesium RS vacuums in stock.
I had just days before been looking at the Magnesium and the Oreck Elevate Conquer because I was trying to decide which Oreck from my lost collection I would replace. I had the Oreck Edge in mint condition that sadly I doubt I can ever replace, so I went on to look for my Oreck Forever Series Gold and no luck finding a reasonable priced, like new model. So I did replace my Oreck Axis with the bright purple bag but sadly had to return TWO of them as the LED headlights were not working.. first one had no LED lights working, second replacement had only one of the three LED lights working. So after that I had given up and was going to just spend the $600 bucks to buy an Elevate Conquer since they are one of the few Oreck STILL made in the USA. My second choice was to almost order the Oreck Magnesium RS (Until I saw they are made in China) and I would have had to pay $459 bucks for it on Oreck.com
I also bought the Oreck Ultimate CC1600 Handheld Bagged Canister (on sale at Amazon) to go along with this beautiful Magnesium so I have the set.
Again, I collected ALL kinds of vacuums, so if you do not like Oreck, please don't send hate my way Lol, I just enjoy them and wanted to share my good luck at finding mine at Walmart already on Clearance at $189. That is worrisome to me as it appears they are already not selling well at Walmart. Oh well, I'm just glad I found mine and that it was reduced in price. Thanks to everyone on this thread and for sharing, because if I'd not already found this nice Oreck Magnesium at Walmart, I would have for sure gone and found it after reading this thread.
Take care everyone and I hope you and all your family are safe and staying healthy.

Nice to see you dipping your feet in the water again Patrick, glad you found such a great deal, fate was sending something your way in the form of Walmart clearance.
