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 vending and foodservice
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 $1.104 billion in the second quarter of
2000, an increase of 2 percent compared to the same period in 2000.  For the
first half of 2000, consolidated net sales were essentially flat compared to the
first half of 1999.
     Home appliances net sales, which include major appliances and floor care
products, increased 4 percent in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.
For the first half of 2000, net sales for home appliances increased 3 percent
compared to the same period in 1999.  The net sales increase was due primarily
to increased sales of floor care products with a more modest increase in major
appliances sales.   For the remainder of the year, Maytag expects a challenging
competitive environment and a slowing of growth in home appliance industry unit
shipments.  Maytag expects the introduction of new products and the expansion
into new distribution channels to provide opportunities for revenue growth in
the second half of 2000.
     Commercial appliances net sales, which include vending and foodservice
equipment, decreased 11 percent from the second quarter of 1999.  For the first
half of 2000, net sales of commercial appliances decreased 15 percent from the
same period in 1999.  The net sales decrease was due primarily to a softening of
industry demand for vending equipment.  The decline in industry demand is
expected to 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, increased 7 percent in the second quarter
of 2000 from the same period in 1999.  For the first half of 2000, net sales for
international appliances were down 14 percent compared to the prior year.  The
net sales decrease was attributable to lower unit sales and lower selling prices
of home laundry products.

Gross Profit:  Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 27.7
percent of sales in the second quarter of 2000 from 29.7 percent of sales in the
second quarter of 1999.  For the first half of 2000, consolidated gross profit
as a percent of sales decreased to 28.2 percent compared to 29.7 percent in
1999.  The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a competitive pricing
environment and unfavorable product mix as well as higher warranty, research and
development and raw material costs.  Maytag expects the trend in research and
development costs to continue as it invests in new product development.  Maytag
expects raw material prices in the second half of 2000 to be slightly higher
than 1999 levels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:  Consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses were 14.8 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2000
compared to 15.3 percent of sales in the second quarter of 1999.  The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses during the second quarter was
due primarily to savings recognized from cost containment initiatives and lower
advertising expenses as a percent of sales partially offset by spending related
to new business initiatives.  For the first half of 2000, consolidated selling,
general and administrative expenses were 15.2 percent of sales compared to 15.5
percent in 1999.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses

                                       11<PAGE>


during the first half was due primarily to savings recognized from cost
containment initiatives.

Operating Income:  Consolidated operating income for the second quarter of 2000
decreased 9 percent to $143 million, or 12.9 percent of sales, compared to $157
million, or 14.4 percent of sales, in the same period in 1999.  Consolidated
operating income for the first half of 2000 decreased 8 percent to $286 million,
or 13 percent of sales, compared to $310 million, or 14.2 percent of sales, in
the same period in 1999.
     Home appliances operating income decreased 3 percent in the second quarter
of 2000 compared to 1999.  Operating margin for the second quarter of 2000 was
15.1 percent of sales compared to 16.1 percent of sales in 1999.  Home
appliances operating income decreased 2 percent in the first half of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999.  Operating margin for the first half of
2000 was 15.2 percent of sales compared to 16.1 percent of sales in 1999.  The
decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the decrease in gross profit
margins partially offset by the decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percent of sales discussed above.
     Commercial appliances operating income decreased 23 percent in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.  Operating margin for the second quarter of
2000 was 11.3 percent of sales compared to 13 percent of sales in 1999.
Operating income decreased 41 percent in the first half of 2000 compared to
1999.  Operating margin for the first half of 2000 was 9.1 percent of sales
compared to 13.1 percent of sales in 1999.  The decrease in operating margin was
due primarily to the decrease in sales discussed above as well as increased
research and development expense related to rapid cook product development and
startup costs.  The decrease in operating margin was partially offset by
productivity improvements.
     International appliances reported a $403 thousand operating loss in the
second quarter of 2000 down from $360 thousand operating income reported in the
second quarter of 1999. International appliances reported an operating loss of
$573 thousand in the first half of 2000 an improvement from the $3 million
operating loss in the first half of 1999.  The decrease in operating income in
the second quarter was due to a competitive pricing environment.  The decrease
in the operating loss in the first half was primarily due to the fact that 1999
included special provisions primarily related to uncollectible accounts
receivable.  The economic environment in China and the Asian region continued to
adversely impact the operations of Rongshida-Maytag.  Inventory levels of
Rongshida-Maytag continue at higher than planned levels.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense for 2000 was 18 percent and 8 percent higher
over the second quarter and first half of 1999, respectively, due to higher
average borrowings partially offset by lower interest rates.

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

Minority Interest:  Minority interest increased by $3.3 million from the second
quarter of 1999 primarily because of the financing transactions that established
the Maytag Capital Trusts in the second half of 1999.  Minority interest
increased by $8.1 million from the first half of 1999 primarily because of the
financing transactions that established the Maytag Capital Trusts in the second
half of 1999.

Net Income:  Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $76 million, or $0.92
diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $88 million, or $0.97
diluted earnings per share in 1999.  Net income for the first half of 2000 was
$152 million, or $1.81 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of

                                       12<PAGE>


$175 million, or $1.92 diluted earnings per share in 1999.  The decrease in net
income was due primarily to the decrease in operating income as well as higher
interest expense and minority interest.  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 decreased due primarily to the
decrease in net income and an increase in cash used for working capital in the
first half of 2000 compared to 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
new product designs, cost reduction programs, replacement of equipment, capacity
expansion and government mandated product requirements.
     Capital expenditures in the first half of 2000 were flat compared to 1999
at approximately $75 million.  Maytag plans to invest approximately $165 million
in capital expenditures in 2000.

Total Financing Activities:  Dividend payments on Maytag's common stock in the
first half of 2000 were $28 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $32
million, or $0.36 per share in the first half of 1999.
     During the first half of 2000, Maytag repurchased 5.1 million shares at a
cost of $267 million.  As of June 30, 2000, there were approximately 16 million
shares which may be repurchased under existing board authorizations of which 7
million shares are committed to be repurchased under put options contracts, if
such options are exercised.  (See discussion of these put option contracts
below.)
     During the first quarter of 2000, Maytag settled a 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 June 30, 2000, there were 7.1 million put options outstanding
with strike prices ranging from $37.00 to $73.06; the weighted-average strike
price was $51.14.  Of the 7.1 million put options outstanding, 1.4 expire in
2000, 1.3 expire in 2001 and 4.4 million expire in 2002.
     Any funding requirements for future investing and financing activities in

                                       13<PAGE>


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 with respect to interest coverage and leverage which Maytag was in
compliance with at June 30, 2000.  Maytag had $370 million of commercial paper
outstanding as of June 30, 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 June 30, 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,
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

union labor negotiations; progress on capital projects; the impact of business
acquisitions or dispositions; the costs of complying with governmental
