NOTE E--CONTINGENCIES

Maytag has contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business,
including: guarantees, repurchase agreements, pending litigation, environmental
remediation, taxes and other claims which are not considered to be significant
in relation to Maytag's consolidated financial position.

NOTE F--SEGMENT REPORTING

Maytag has three reportable segments: home appliances, commercial appliances and
international appliances.  Maytag's home appliances segment manufactures major
appliances (laundry products, dishwashers, refrigerators, cooking appliances)
and floor care products.  These products are sold primarily to major national
retailers and independent retail dealers in North America and targeted
international markets.
     Maytag's commercial appliances segment manufactures commercial cooking and
vending equipment.  These products are sold primarily to distributors, soft
drink bottlers, restaurant chains and dealers in North America and targeted
international markets.
     The international appliances segment consists of Maytag's 50.5 percent
owned joint venture in China, Rongshida-Maytag, which manufactures laundry
products and refrigerators.  These products are sold primarily to department
stores and distributors in China.
     Maytag's reportable segments are distinguished by the nature of products
manufactured and sold and types of customers.  Maytag's home appliances segment
has been further defined based on distinct geographical locations.

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

Comparison of 2000 with 1999

Maytag Corporation ("Maytag") has three reportable segments: home appliances,
commercial appliances and international appliances.  (See discussion and
financial information about Maytag's reportable segments in "SEGMENT REPORTING"
section of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Net Sales:  Consolidated net sales were $1.095 billion in the first quarter of
2000, a decrease of 1 percent compared to the same period in 1999.
     Home appliances net sales, which include major appliances and floor care
products, increased 3 percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.
The net sales increase was due primarily to increased sales of floor care
products and export sales.  Industry growth was strong in the first quarter for
both major appliances and floor care products.  During the second half of the
year, Maytag expects revenue growth from the introduction of new products in
several categories and through new distribution initiatives.
     Commercial appliances net sales, which include vending and foodservice
equipment, decreased 19 percent from the first quarter of 1999.  The net sales
decrease was due primarily to the expected decrease in vending equipment sales
to a single major customer channel as well as a softening in industry demand.
The decline in industry demand is expected to continue through the first half of
the year and may continue through most of 2000.  Maytag expects to introduce new
commercial appliances products during the second half of the year.
     Net sales of international appliances, which consists of Maytag's 50.5
percent owned joint venture in China, were down 28 percent in the first quarter
of 2000 from the same period in 1999.  The sales decrease was attributable to
lower laundry sales volume.

Gross Profit:  Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 28.7
percent of sales in the first quarter of 2000 from 29.6 percent of sales in the
first quarter of 1999.  The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to higher
warranty and research and development costs.  Maytag expects warranty cost to
trend downward in the second half of the year and expects the trend in research
and development costs to continue as it invests in new product development.
     Maytag expects raw material prices in 2000 to be slightly higher than 1999
levels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:  Consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately the same in the first quarter of 2000
compared to 1999 at 15.6 percent of sales and 15.7 percent of sales,
respectively.

Operating Income:  Consolidated operating income for the first quarter of 2000
decreased 7 percent to $143 million, or 13.1 percent of sales, compared to $153
million, or 13.9 percent of sales, in the same period in 1999.
     Home appliances operating income decreased 2 percent in the first quarter
of 2000 compared to 1999.  Operating margin for the first quarter of 2000 was
15.3 percent of sales compared to 16 percent of sales in 1999.  The decrease in
operating margin was due primarily to the decrease in gross profit margins
discussed above.
     Commercial appliances operating income decreased 59 percent in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.  Operating margin for the first quarter of
2000 was 6.7 percent of sales compared to 13.2 percent of sales in 1999.  The
decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the decrease in sales

                                       10<PAGE>


discussed above as well as increased research and development spending related
to rapid cook product development.
     International appliances reported an operating loss of $0.2 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to an operating loss of $3 million in the first
quarter of 1999.  The decrease in operating loss was due to 1999 including
special provisions primarily related to uncollectible accounts receivable.  The
economic environment in China and the Asian region continues to adversely impact
the operations of Rongshida-Maytag.  Inventory levels of Rongshida-Maytag
continue at higher than planned levels.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense for the first quarter of 2000 was 2 percent
lower than the first quarter of 1999 primarily due to lower interest rates.

Income Taxes:  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was 36.5
percent, a slight improvement from the 37.5 percent effective tax rate in the
first quarter of 1999.

Minority Interest:  Minority interest increased by $4.8 million from the first
quarter of 1999 primarily because of the financing transactions that established
the Maytag Capital Trusts in the second half of 1999.  For the first quarter of
2000, minority interest of $4.5 million consisted of the income attributable to
the noncontrolling interests of Anvil Technologies LLC of $1.9 million and
Maytag Capital Trusts of $3.0 million and the loss attributable to the
noncontrolling interest of Rongshida-Maytag of $0.4 million.  In the first
quarter of 1999, minority interest consisted of the income attributable to the
noncontrolling interest of Anvil Technologies LLC of $1.9 million and the loss
attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Rongshida-Maytag of $2.2 million.

Net Income:  Net income for the first quarter of 2000 was $75.9 million, or
$0.89 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $87 million, or
$0.95 diluted earnings per share in 1999.  The decrease in net income was due
primarily to the decrease in operating income and increase in minority interest
discussed above.  The decrease in diluted earnings per share was due to the
decrease in net income partially offset by the positive effect of Maytag's share
repurchase program.  (See discussion of the share repurchase program in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this Management's Discussion and
Analysis.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Maytag's primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities
and borrowings.  Detailed information on Maytag's cash flows is presented in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:  Cash flow provided by operating
activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items,
changes in working capital items, and changes in pension assets and liabilities
and postretirement benefits.  Non-cash items include depreciation and
amortization and deferred income taxes.  Working capital items consist primarily
of accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets and other current
liabilities.
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased marginally in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999.
     A portion of Maytag's accounts receivable is concentrated among major
national retailers.  A significant loss of business with any of these retailers
could have an adverse impact on Maytag's ongoing operations.

Total Investing Activities:  Maytag continually invests in its businesses for

                                       11<PAGE>


new product designs, cost reduction programs, replacement of equipment, capacity
expansion and government mandated product requirements.
     Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2000 were $37 million compared
to $32 million in the first quarter of 1999.  Maytag plans to invest
approximately $190 million in capital expenditures in 2000.
     Effective January 1, 1999, Maytag acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Jade, a manufacturer of commercial ranges, refrigerators and residential ranges,
for approximately $19 million.  In connection with the purchase, Maytag retired
debt and incurred transaction costs of $3.6 million and issued approximately 290
thousand shares of Maytag common stock at a value of $15.6 million.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the results of its operation
have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition.

Total Financing Activities:  Dividend payments on Maytag's common stock in the
first quarter of 2000 were $14 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $16
million, or $0.18 per share in 1999.
     During the first quarter of 2000, Maytag repurchased 4.2 million shares at
a cost of $209 million.  As of March 31, 2000, there were approximately 17
million shares which may be repurchased under existing board authorizations of
which 8 million shares are committed under put options contracts, if such
options are exercised.  (See discussion of these put option contracts below.)
Maytag plans to continue the repurchase of shares over a non-specified period of
time.
     During the first quarter of 2000, Maytag settled the forward stock purchase
contract associated with four million shares before its maturity date for $9.6
million.  Maytag originally entered into the forward stock purchase contract
during 1997.
     In connection with the share repurchase program, Maytag sells put options
which give the purchaser the right to sell shares of Maytag's common stock to
Maytag at specified prices upon exercise of the options.  The put option
contracts allow Maytag to determine the method of settlement.  Maytag's
objective in selling put options is to reduce the average price of repurchased
shares.  As of March 31, 2000, there were 8 million put options outstanding with
strike prices ranging from $37.00 to $73.06; the weighted-average strike price
was $52.62.
     Any funding requirements for future investing and financing activities in
excess of cash on hand and generated from operations will be supplemented by
borrowings.  Maytag s commercial paper program is supported by a credit
agreement with a consortium of banks which provides revolving credit facilities
totaling $400 million.  This agreement expires June 29, 2001 and includes
covenants for interest coverage and leverage which Maytag was in compliance with
at March 31, 2000.  In 1999 Maytag filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission providing the ability to issue an aggregate
of $400 million of debt securities of which $185 million was available as of
March 31, 2000.  Maytag expects to issue these securities over a non-specified
period of time and expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the
securities for general corporate purposes, including the funding of share
repurchases (including obligations under forward contracts and put options as
discussed above), capital expenditures, working capital, repayment or reduction
of long-term and short-term debt and the financing of acquisitions.
     Maytag explores and may periodically implement arrangements to adjust its
obligations under various stock repurchase arrangements, including the
arrangements described above.

Market Risks

Maytag is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its transactions,

                                       12<PAGE>


assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.  To manage certain
foreign exchange exposures, Maytag enters into foreign currency forward and
option contracts.  Maytag s policy is to hedge a portion of its anticipated
foreign currency denominated export sales transactions, which are denominated
primarily in Canadian dollars, for periods not exceeding twelve months.
     Maytag also is exposed to commodity price risk related to Maytag's purchase
of selected commodities used in the manufacture of its products.  To reduce the
effect of changing raw material prices for select commodities, Maytag has
entered into long-term contracts and commodity swap agreements with terms not
exceeding two years, to hedge a portion of its anticipated raw material
purchases on selected commodities.
     Maytag also is exposed to interest rate risk in the portfolio of Maytag s
debt.  The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to adjust the proportion of
total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates.  The swaps
involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate payments without exchanging the
notional principal amount.
     There have been no material changes in the reported market risks of Maytag
since December 31, 1999.  See further discussion of these market risks and
related financial instruments in the Maytag Corporation annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Contingencies

Maytag has contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business or
from operations which have been discontinued or divested.  (See discussion of
these contingent liabilities in "CONTINGENCIES" section of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

new product introductions; significant loss of business from a major national
retailer; the cost and availability of raw materials and purchased components;
union labor negotiations; progress on capital projects; the impact of business
acquisitions or dispositions; the costs of complying with governmental
regulations; level of share repurchases; litigation and other risk factors.
