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


COMPARISON OF 1995 WITH 1994

NET SALES

Net sales in the third quarter of 1995 decreased 14.4 percent from the third
quarter of 1994 as reported; however, after excluding combined sales totaling
$122.6 million in the third quarter of 1994 of Hoover Australia and Hoover
Europe, which were sold in December 1994 and June 1995, respectively, sales in
the third quarter of 1995 were approximately the same as in the comparable
quarter of 1994.  The North American Appliance Group had third quarter sales of
$685.7 million, up 1.1 percent from sales of $678.3 million in the 1994 period. 
The Group's performance in 1995 is consistent with the overall U.S. industry
performance for comparable major product categories.  The U.S. appliance
industry for the remainder of 1995 is expected to be below the record shipment
levels which occurred in 1994 due to downward inventory adjustments by dealers
and a slowdown in general economic conditions.  The 1996 appliance industry in
the U.S. is expected to be consistent with or up slightly compared to 1995. 
Dixie-Narco's sales in the third quarter were down 15.2 percent to $40.7
million, compared to $48.0 million in the third quarter of 1994.  The decrease
in  Dixie-Narco's sales resulted from decreased bottler demand for venders in
both the U.S. and foreign markets and for glass door coolers sold domestically.

Net sales for the first nine months of 1995 were down 6.4 percent from the first
nine months of 1994 as reported, but up 1.1 percent after excluding combined
sales of Hoover Australia and Hoover Europe of $181.2 million in 1995 and $364.9
million in 1994.  The North American Appliance Group had sales for the first
nine months of 1995 of $2.01 billion, up 0.9 percent from sales of $2 billion in




                                        7<PAGE>


the same 1994 period.  Dixie-Narco's sales for the first nine months of 1995
were up 3.5 percent to $154.5 million, compared to $149.3 million in the first
nine months of 1994.

GROSS PROFIT
 
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased 1.4 percentage points from the
third quarter and 0.6 percentage points from the first nine months of 1994
primarily due to an increase in material costs.

The Company continues to experience cost increases in many commodities,
particularly steel, plastics and corrugated materials.  A portion of these
increases is expected to be offset with internal cost reduction initiatives. 
Through these initiatives, the overall commodity cost escalation is expected to
be contained to the low single-digit percent range.  This will cause pressure on
operating margins during the remainder of 1995 as compared to 1994.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Third quarter selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased as a
percent of sales over 1994 due to slightly lower advertising and sales promotion
activities and other cost control efforts.  In the third quarter, SG&A expenses
decreased to 15.6 percent of sales from 17.0 percent in 1994.  For the first
nine months of 1995, SG&A expenses decreased to 16.3 percent of sales from 16.6
percent in 1994.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income in the third quarter of 1995 decreased 13.8 percent from 1994,
or 12.2 percent excluding the combined operating profit of $1.6 million reported
by Hoover Australia and Hoover Europe in the third quarter of 1994.  The
decrease in operating income was caused primarily by the decline in gross margin
mentioned above.  Operating income in the North American Appliance Group
decreased 10.2 percent to $77.9 million in the third quarter of 1995 from $86.8
million in the third quarter of 1994.  Vending equipment operating income
decreased 25.9 percent to $4.1 million from $5.5 million in 1994.

For the first nine months of 1995, operating income decreased 8.3 percent from
1994, or 2.9 percent excluding Hoover Australia and Hoover Europe's combined
results from both 1995 and 1994.  The North American Appliance Group's operating
income decreased 4.2 percent to $235.5 million from $245.7 million in the same
period in 1994.  Dixie-Narco's operating income increased 7.8 percent to $19.9
million from $18.4 million in the first nine months of 1994.  Hoover Australia
and Hoover Europe reported a combined operating profit of $6.2 million year-to-
date in 1994, compared to an operating loss of $7.2 million for Hoover Europe in
1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased 38.1 percent in the third quarter and 26.8 percent
year-to-date due to application of proceeds from the sale of Hoover Australia
and Hoover Europe and cash provided by continuing operations to reduce debt.







                                        8<PAGE>


OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a $16.5 million charge to
settle a lawsuit relating to the closing of the former Dixie-Narco plant in
Ranson, West Virginia.  The after tax charge was $9.9 million or $.09 per share.

In the second quarter of 1995, the Company sold its Hoover Europe division for
approximately $180 million, subject to a post closing adjustment to the price
which is further described below.  The pretax loss from the sale was $140.8
million and resulted in an after-tax loss of $135.4 million or $1.27 per share.

INCOME TAXES

The significant fluctuation in the effective tax rate is due largely to the
impact of the sale of Hoover Europe.  Excluding amounts relating to the loss on
the sale of Hoover Europe, the effective tax rate decreased to 40 percent in the
third quarter and first nine months of 1995 from 42 percent in 1994.  The
decrease is primarily due to tax benefits from an increase in export sales from
the United States.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

During the third quarter of 1995, the Company retired $26.6 million of long-term
debt at a cost of $2.1 million after-tax.  Year-to-date, early retirements of
debt totaled $116.5 million at a cost of $5.5 million after-tax.

NET INCOME

Excluding the $9.9 million after-tax charge relating to the lawsuit settlement
mentioned above and the $2.1 million extraordinary item from early debt
retirement, net income for the third quarter would have been $39.9 million, or
$.37 per share in 1995 compared to $41.0 million, or $.38 per share in 1994.

Special items year-to-date in 1995 include the $9.9 million after-tax lawsuit
settlement charge, the $135.4 million after-tax loss on the sale of Hoover
Europe and the $5.5 million extraordinary item from the early retirement of
debt.  Excluding these special items as well as the 1994 special items which
include a $3.2 million cumulative effect of accounting change and a $.19 per
share tax benefit associated with the funding of operating losses and
reorganization costs in Europe over the last several years, net income for the
first nine months of 1995 was $113.6 million, or $1.06 per share, compared to
net income of $113.2 million, or $1.06 per share in the comparable 1994 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating
activities and external debt.  Detailed information on the Company's cash flows
is presented in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Cash Flow From Operating Activities:  Cash flow generated from operating
activities consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash income and
expenses and changes in working capital.  Non-cash income and expenses include 







                                        9<PAGE>


items such as depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes.  Working
capital consists primarily of accounts receivable, inventory and other current
liabilities.

Cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months of 1995 improved
significantly over the same period in 1994.  This was driven by a lower increase
in the selected working capital items mentioned above.  Included in the working
capital improvement was the sale of $43 million of accounts receivable relating
to the operations of Maytag Financial Services which ceased in 1994.  In
addition, cash outflows for 1994 included $49 million of payments for the 1992
reorganization of the European operations and the 1992/1993 European "free
flights" promotional programs.  The funding of these events was substantially
completed in 1994.  

Cash Flow From Investing Activities:  The $148.5 million proceeds from business
disposition represents the $164.3 cash received from the sale of Hoover Europe
in the third quarter of 1995, net of $15.8 million cash in business sold.  The
terms of the contract provide for a post closing adjustment to the price under
which the Company believes an additional amount of approximately $19 million is
owed by the buyer.  The post closing adjustment is in dispute and may ultimately
depend on the decision of an independent third party. 

The Company continually invests in its businesses to improve product design and
manufacturing processes and to increase capacity when needed.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1995 were $98.5 million
compared to $50.8 million in the first nine months of 1994.  The higher capital
expenditures are a result of several capital projects that the Company will be
implementing over the next several years.  This includes totals of $50 million
for a new high efficiency clothes washer and $180 million for a complete
redesign of the Company's refrigerator product lines.  The new clothes washer
will be designed to comply with anticipated government regulations dealing with
energy usage and will use water more efficiently.  The refrigeration project
will incorporate changes expected to be required by 1998 Department of Energy
refrigeration standards and the upcoming ban on chlorofluorocarbons ("CFCs"). 
Planned capital expenditures for 1995 and 1996 approximate $150 million and $200
million, respectively, and relate to these new projects as well as other ongoing
production improvements and product enhancements. 

The Company announced on November 1, 1995 that it has entered into a letter of
intent to sell the business and assets of a Dixie-Narco, Inc. manufacturing
operation in Eastlake, Ohio, to a private investor for an undisclosed amount. 
This business involves the design and manufacture of currency validators and
electronic components used in the gaming and vending industries.  Dixie-Narco's
headquarters and vending machine manufacturing facility in Williston, SC, are
not affected by this asset sale at Eastlake.  The Company will record a non-cash
book loss of approximately $6-$7 million pretax upon closing the sale, which is
expected in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Cash Flow From Financing Activities:  Dividend payments for the first nine
months of 1995 amounted to $40.4 million and were $40.2 million in the same
period in 1994, or $.375 per share for both periods.  In October, 1995, the
Board of Directors authorized an increase in the quarterly dividend payable in
December from $.125 to $.14 per share.





                                       10<PAGE>


The Company used a portion of the cash flow generated from operations, $82.1
million of proceeds from the sale of Hoover Australia in 1994 and $148.5 million
of proceeds from the sale of Hoover Europe in July 1995 to reduce long-term debt
by $163.3 million in the first nine months of 1995.  Included in the debt
reduction is $116.5 million for the early retirement of a portion of the
Company's outstanding long-term debt at December 31, 1994.   The Company's ratio
of debt to total capitalization decreased from 50.7 percent at December 31, 1994
to 43.7 percent at September 30, 1995.

In October 1995, the Company announced a stock repurchase program to buy up to
10.8 million shares of the Company's outstanding Common stock.  The buyback
program commenced in the fourth quarter of 1995 and will continue for an
unspecified period of time.

CONTINGENCIES/OTHER

The Company is contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness owed by a
third party ("the borrower") of $24 million relating to the sale of one of its
manufacturing facilities in 1992.  The borrower is performing under the payment
terms of the loan agreement; however, it is currently in default of certain
financial covenants.  The indebtedness is collateralized by the assets of the
borrower; however, in the event of a liquidation, it is likely the liquidation
value would be substantially less than indebtedness. The Company also has other
commitments to the borrower totaling $2.5 million.

In connection with the sale of Hoover Europe mentioned above, the Company has
made various warranties to the buyer, including the accuracy of tax net
operating losses in the United Kingdom, and has agreed to indemnify the buyer
for liability resulting from customer claims under the "free flights" promotions
in excess of the reserve balance at the time of sale.  The Company has limited
liability in the event the buyer incurs a loss as a result of breach of the
warranties.

The Company recently announced that it will conduct an in-home inspection
program to eliminate a potential problem with a small electrical component in
Maytag brand dishwashers.  Although the ultimate cost of the repair will not be
known until the inspection program is complete, it is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's results.  The Company is also seeking
reimbursement from a supplier involved.   

A 1992 alliance to jointly explore mutually beneficial business opportunities
with Bosch-Siemens Hausgate (BSHG) of Munich, Germany recently has been
terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.  The alliance termination will
not have a material impact on the Company's financial results.
