           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                              March 31, 1994
                                (Unaudited)


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1994.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Maytag Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993.

Commencing with the first quarter of 1994, the Company changed the manner
in which it allocates certain items of income and expense to its industry
segments and in compiling its geographic information.  The Company is now
allocating to its business units certain income and expenses that
previously were allocated to "Corporate. Although the effect of such
change was not material, certain industry segment and geographic
information for the first quarter of 1993 referred to below has been
restated to reflect this change.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.


COMPARISON OF 1994 WITH 1993

Net sales in the first quarter of 1994 were $790.6 million or 10.3 percent
higher than the comparable 1993 period.  The increase is primarily due to
volume increases from market share gains and new products in the North
American Appliance Group, and new business from the vending equipment
operation.  The North American Appliance Group had sales of $630.8
million, up 15.6 percent from sales of $545.7 million in the first quarter
of 1993. Vending equipment sales were up 9 percent, from $37.7 million in
1993 to $41.1 million in 1994.  Sales of Hoover Europe were $89.4 million
in the first quarter of 1994, compared to $103.1 million in the first
quarter of 1993. This decrease is primarily due to sales in 1993 having
been positively affected by sales generated by the two "free flights"
promotion programs discussed below.  Foreign currency fluctuations also
contributed to this decrease.
 
Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 25.9 percent in the first
quarter of 1994 compared to 24.1 percent in 1993.  The improvement in
gross margin is primarily the result of improved volume-related production
efficiencies and favorable product mix in the North American Appliance
Group.  In addition, margins in Europe improved due to completion of a
floorcare plant consolidation included as part of a reorganization
announced in 1992.  


                                     7 
<PAGE>

The first quarter of 1993 included a one-time pretax charge of
approximately $50 million to cover additional costs associated with two
Hoover Europe "free flights" promotion programs.  Excluding this special
charge for comparative purposes, selling, general and administrative
expenses (S,G&A) totaled $134.5 million or 17.0 percent of sales in the
first quarter of 1994 compared to $124.2 million or 17.3 percent in the
same period of 1993. S,G&A expenses increased over 1993 primarily to
support the higher sales volumes.  Including the 1993 "free flights"
special charge above, S,G&A expenses totaled $174.2 million in 1993.
 
Excluding the special charge in 1993 mentioned above, operating income in
the first quarter of 1994 rose 44.2 percent to $70 million compared to
$48.6 million a year ago, and as a percent of sales increased to 8.9
percent compared to 6.8 percent in 1993.  The reported operating loss in
1993, including the special charge, was $1.4 million.  Operating income in
the first quarter of 1994 for the North American Appliance Group was $74.6
million, up 41.6 percent from $52.7 million a year ago.  Excluding the
special charge in 1993, the operating loss for Europe was $3.8 million in
the first quarter of 1994 compared to a loss of $4.4 million during the
comparable period in 1993.  Poor economic conditions in parts of Europe
continue to impact Europe's results, however, cost containment programs
have reduced the loss year-over-year.  Dixie-Narco, the Company's vending
segment, had first quarter operating income of $4.9 million compared to
$3.8 million a year ago. 

The 1994 annual effective tax rate was 42 percent for the first quarter
compared to 40 percent in the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in the
rate from 1993 is primarily due to the increase in the U.S. Federal
Corporate statutory income tax rate from 34 percent to 35 percent and a
reduction in tax benefits for a 1994 anticipated net operating loss in the
United Kingdom.  

Income before cumulative effect of accounting change of $31 million
increased $41.5 million or $.39 per share in this year's quarter compared
to the first quarter of 1993.  Excluding the charge for the $30 million
after-tax "free flights" promotions in the first quarter of 1993, income
before cumulative effect of accounting change would have increased $.11
per share or 59.3 percent from $19.5 million or $.18 per share in 1993.   

The $.03 per share cumulative effect of accounting change in the first
quarter of 1994 related to the mandatory adoption of an accounting
pronouncement, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"(FAS 112), which the
Company adopted effective January 1, 1994.  The ongoing application of the
statement will not have a material impact on results of operations or
financial condition.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's current ratio was 1.6 at March 31, 1994 and December 31,
1993.  

Accounts receivable increased $64.7 million since December 31, 1993
primarily due to higher sales volumes in the North American Appliance
Group.  Inventory levels increased $39.9 million since year-end primarily
due to higher production volumes in the North American Appliance Group in
anticipation of increased demand in the upcoming months.



                                     8 
<PAGE>


Other noncurrent assets increased $19.3 million from December 31, 1993
primarily due to the recording of receivables for certain income tax
carrybacks and an increase in long-term financing notes to vending
equipment customers.  

The reserve for compensation to employees decreased $13.7 million since
year-end due to payments made in the first quarter in connection with the
European reorganization announced in 1992.

Other noncurrent liabilities increased $15.1 million from year-end
principally due to ongoing charges for pensions and the recording of the
liability for adoption of FAS 112.

Net cash used by operations in the first three months of 1994 totaled
$27.5 million compared to $39.8 million in the first three months of 1993. 
The decrease in cash used was a result of higher net earnings which
included more non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization
($3.2 million increase) and pensions ($3.5 million increase).  The $43
million decrease in net deferred income tax assets results primarily from
the first quarter of 1993 reflecting the deferred tax benefit for the
"free flights" promotions and certain reclassifications made in both
periods between current taxes payable.  Offsetting this improvement was a
greater increase in inventory and receivables and payments for the
European reorganization and "free flights" promotions.  Current
liabilities increased primarily to support the additional inventory and
receivables. 

Net capital expenditures were $13 million in the first three months of
1994 compared to $18.2 million in the first quarter of 1993.  The lower
capital expenditures in 1994 resulted from a change in the timing of
spending between quarters.  Full year planned capital expenditures for
1994 approximate $110 million.  Compliance with current and anticipated 
laws and regulations governing product performance related to the
protection of the environment is expected to significantly increase
capital expenditures over the next five years.  Although the amounts are
not known at this time, the annual capital spending is expected to exceed
depreciation in these years.

The net cash used for operations, capital expenditures, dividends, and the
reduction in debt (long term and current maturities) in the first three
months of 1994 was funded through an increase in notes payable (primarily
commercial paper borrowings) of $43.8 million.

At December 31, 1993 the Company was contingently liable for guarantees of
secured indebtedness owed by a third party of $21.3 million relating to
the 1992 sale of one of the Company's manufacturing facilities.  The
borrower was out of compliance with certain financial covenants at
December 31, 1993 but has since received a waiver from the lender
involved.
