                                PROXY STATEMENT



      This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors of Windmere Corporation, a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), of proxies from the holders of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common
Stock"), for use at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company to be held on Tuesday, May 9, 1995, or at any
adjournment(s) thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), pursuant to the
enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting.  The approximate date that this
Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being sent
to holders of Common Stock is April 13, 1995.  Shareholders should
review the information provided herein in conjunction with the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders which accompanies this
Proxy Statement.  The Company's principal executive offices are
located at 5980 Miami Lakes Drive, Miami Lakes, Florida 33014-2467,
and its telephone number is (305) 362-2611.

                         INFORMATION CONCERNING PROXY

      The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Company's
Board of Directors.  The giving of a proxy does not preclude the
right to vote in person should any shareholder giving the proxy so
desire.  Shareholders have an unconditional right to revoke their
proxy at any time prior to the exercise thereof, either in person,
at the Annual Meeting or by filing with the Company's Secretary at
the Company's principal executive offices a written revocation or
duly executed proxy bearing a later date; however, no such
revocation will be effective until written notice of the revocation
is received by the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting.

      The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy
Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the
enclosed proxy is to be borne by the Company.  In addition to the
use of mail, employees of the Company may solicit proxies
personally and by telephone, and the Company may use the services
of a proxy solicitation firm at a cost of up to $7,000.  The
Company's employees will receive no compensation for soliciting
proxies other than their regular salaries.  The Company may request
banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to
forward copies of the proxy material to their principals and to
request authority for the execution of proxies.  The Company may
reimburse such persons for their expenses in so doing.


                            PURPOSES OF THE MEETING

      At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders will
consider and vote upon the following matters:

      (1)  The election of four members to Class II of the
           Company's Board of Directors to serve until the 1998
           Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors
           are duly elected and qualified;

      (2)  The ratification of the reappointment of Grant Thornton,
           independent certified public accountants, as the
           Company's auditors for the fiscal year ending December
           31, 1995; and

      (3)  Such other business as may properly come before the
           Annual Meeting, including any adjournment(s) thereof.

      Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the enclosed
proxy, all shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to
this solicitation (and which have not been revoked in accordance
with the procedures set forth above) will be voted (a) for the
election of the four nominees for director named below, and (b) in
favor of all other proposals described in the Notice of Annual
Meeting.  In the event a shareholder specifies a different choice
by means of the enclosed proxy, his shares will be voted in
accordance with the specification so made.

                OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

      The Board of Directors has set the close of business on March
20, 1995 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining
shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Annual Meeting.  As of the Record Date, there were 16,735,545
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which are
entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.  Each share of Common
Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at
the Annual Meeting and neither the Company's Articles of
Incorporation nor Bylaws provides for cumulative voting rights.

      The attendance, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.  The
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for
the approval of each matter that is submitted to shareholders for
approval.  An independent inspector shall count the votes and
ballots.  Abstentions are considered as shares present and entitled
to vote but are not counted as votes cast in the affirmative on a
given matter.  A broker or nominee holding shares registered in its
name, or in the names of its nominee, which are beneficially owned
by another person and for which it has not received instructions as
to voting from the beneficial owner, has the discretion to vote the
beneficial owner's shares with respect to the election of
directors.  If a matter had been included in the proxy to which a
broker or nominee would not have discretionary voting power under
applicable New York Stock Exchange rules, any broker or nominee
"non-votes" would not be considered as shares entitled to vote on
that subject matter and therefore would not be considered by the
inspector when counting votes cast on the matter.  If less than a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are represented
at the Annual Meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may
adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time without further
notice.

                              SECURITY OWNERSHIP

      The following table sets forth, as of the Record Date,
information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the
Company's Common Stock by (i) each director of the Company (certain
of whom constitute nominees for election as directors at the Annual
Meeting), (ii) the Company's Chief Executive Officer and four other
most highly compensated officers of the Company during the year
ended December 31, 1994, (iii) the beneficial owner of more than 5%
of the outstanding Common Stock and (iv) all directors and
executive officers of the Company, as a group.

is unable to accept election, proxies solicited hereunder will be
voted in favor of the remaining nominees, if any, and for such
other persons as may be designated by the Board of Directors,

Officers--Certain Agreements."

                     COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The Board of Directors of the Company has an Audit, Nominating
and Compensation Committee.  The members of each committee have
been appointed by the Board of Directors to serve until their
respective successors are elected and qualified.

    Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee reviews the scope and
results of the audit of the financial statements of the Company and
reviews the internal accounting, financial and operating control
procedures of the Company.  The Audit Committee is composed of
Messrs. Rosen, Sager and Strauss, each of whom, in accordance with
the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, is independent of
management and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of
the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment as a committee member.  The Audit Committee
met four times in 1994.

    Nominating Committee.  The Nominating Committee considers
nominees for membership on the Board of Directors who are
recommended by the Company's shareholders.  Any nomination by a
shareholder of a person to serve as a director of the Company may
be made pursuant to notice in writing to the Secretary of the
Company delivered to or mailed and received at the principal
executive offices of the Company not less than 90 days prior to the
meeting at which directors are to be elected; provided, however,
that in the event that less than 100 days' notice or prior public
disclosure of the date of such meeting is given or made to
shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so
received not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which such notice of the date of such meeting
was mailed or such public disclosure was made.  Such shareholder's
notice to the Secretary must set forth (a) as to each person whom
the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i)
the name, age, business address and residence address of such
person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person,
(iii) the class and number of any shares of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company which are beneficially owned by such
person, (iv) any lawsuits to which such person is a party, (v) the
involvement of such person in or with any business which may be
competitive with the Company and (vi) any other information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations for proxies for election of directors or in a
Schedule 13-D pursuant to any then existing rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
and (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and
record address of such shareholder and (ii) the class and number of
shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by such
shareholder.  The Company may require any proposed nominee to
furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the
Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee as a
director.  The Nominating Committee is composed of Mr. David M.
Friedson and Messrs. Glazer, Rosen, Sager and Strauss and did not
meet in 1994, and the functions which in the past have been
performed by such committee were performed by the Company's Board
of Directors.

    Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee determines
the cash and other incentive compensation, if any, to be paid to
the Company's executive officers.  The Compensation Committee is
also responsible for the administration and award of stock options
under the Company's 1992 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan as
well as the award of non-qualified stock options issued pursuant to
individual stock option agreements.  The Compensation Committee is
composed of Messrs. Rosen, Sager and Sabates, each of whom is a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). 
The Compensation Committee did not meet in 1994, and the functions
which in the past have been performed by such committee were
performed by the Company's Board of Directors.  Members of the
Company's Board of Directors did not vote with respect to matters
affecting their individual compensation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation. 

      PHILOSOPHY.  The Compensation Committee's executive
compensation philosophy is to provide competitive levels of
compensation, integrate the compensation of its executive officers
with the achievement of the Company's annual and long-term
performance goals, reward above average corporate performance,
recognize individual initiative and achievement and assist the
Company in attracting and retaining qualified management.  To meet
these objectives, the Compensation Committee attempts to set the
compensation of its executive officers at levels that it believes
are competitive with other companies of the same size in the
Company's industry, in light of the Company's then current and
anticipated performance.  The Compensation Committee endorses the
position that equity interest in the Company by management is
beneficial in aligning executive officers' and shareholders'
interests in the enhancement of shareholder value.

      COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.  Compensation of the
Company's executive officers consists of both cash payments and
grants of stock options.  The annual cash compensation consists of
a base salary and an annual bonus.  Long-term incentives are
provided through the grant of qualified stock options under the
Company's 1992 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan and non-
qualified stock options issued pursuant to individual stock option
agreements.

      BASE SALARIES.  The Compensation Committee attempts to set
base salaries of its executive officers at levels that it believes
are competitive with other companies of the same size in the
Company's industry. Information about appropriate salary levels has
been determined by reviewing the public disclosure of the Company's
competitors and through the Company's recruiting activities. 
Except as described below, salaries are reviewed annually, and any
increases are based on competitive practices as well as the
performance of the Company and the executive officer.

      Eight of the Company's executive officers, five of whom
(including the Chief Executive Officer) are named in the
compensation tables following this Report, are parties to
Employment Agreements with the Company.  Each of these Employment
Agreements provides for an annual salary increase equal to the
increase in the Consumer Price Index.

      BONUSES.  Cash bonuses have been a standard and expected
component of compensation at the Company when the Company has
experienced particularly positive financial results.

      During 1994, in recognition of the special efforts made by
selected members of senior management in the United States and Hong
Kong in helping to achieve the Company's positive 1994 results, a
cash incentive award was made to 23 persons in amounts not
exceeding three months' compensation.  On this basis, the Chief
Executive Officer received a cash bonus of $161,000.  In addition,
cash bonuses of between one and three months' base salaries were
paid to almost all other persons employed by the Company's
subsidiaries in Hong Kong, in accordance with the customary
practice in Hong Kong.

      STOCK OPTIONS.  The Compensation Committee grants stock
options to the Company's executive officers pursuant to the
Company's 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan and individual stock
option agreements.  The Compensation Committee has the authority to
determine the individuals to whom stock options are awarded, the
terms at which option grants are made, the duration of the options
and the number of shares subject to each option.  The size of the
option grants are generally based on the position level of the
recipient.  Through the award of stock options, the objective of
aligning executive officers' long range interests with those of the
shareholders is met by providing the executive officers with the
opportunity to build a meaningful stake in the Company.

      It is the Compensation Committee's intention that, over time,
compensation opportunities from option grants will constitute a
significant portion of each executive officer's total compensation.
However, there are not automatic grants to each executive officer
every year.  Instead, the Compensation Committee reviews the
performance of the Company overall and of each individual executive
officer, as well as past option grants to each executive officer,
and makes decisions about recipients and grant sizes for the year. 
The Chief Executive Officer received a grant of 1,500 options
pursuant to the Company's 1988 Director Option Plan in June 1994,
and a grant of 375,000 non-qualified stock options pursuant to an
individual stock option agreement in March 1994.

      In December 1994, the Internal Revenue Service issued
amendments to the proposed regulations previously issued under
Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.  In general, Section 162(m) disallows a public
company's deduction for compensation to any employee in excess of
$1.0 million per year, unless such compensation is paid in
connection with the attainment of performance goals established by
the compensation committee of the board of directors and approved
by the shareholders of such company in advance of the period during
which services relating to such compensation were rendered.  The
Compensation Committee is in the process of evaluating Section
162(m) and its effect upon the Company, and has not at this time
established a performance-based compensation plan which complies
with Section 162(m).

      Members of the Compensation Committee are Jerald I. Rosen
(Chairman), Bert Sager and Felix S. Sabates.

      Summary Compensation Table.  The following table sets forth
the aggregate compensation paid during each of the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer (the "CEO") and each of the four most highly compensated
executive officers of the Company other than the CEO during 1994. 
The CEO and such other executive officers are sometimes referred to
herein as the "Named Executive Officers."

      Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. 
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of
Jerald I. Rosen, Bert Sager and Felix S. Sabates.  Mr. Rosen serves
as Secretary of the Company, although he is not compensated for his
services in such capacity. Mr. Sager is an independent director of
the Company, and is neither an officer of the Company or affiliated
with any principal shareholder of the Company.  Mr. Sabates is the
sole shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of Top Sales Company,
Inc. ("Top Sales").  Pursuant to an agreement dated August 15, 1988
between the Company and Top Sales, Top Sales sells certain products
manufactured by the Company.  In 1994, the Company paid Top Sales
$719,600 pursuant to this agreement.  Each member of the
Compensation Committee is a "disinterested person" within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

      Director Compensation.  Directors of the Company who are
salaried employees of the Company do not receive any additional
compensation for serving as a director or committee member.  In
1994, non-employee directors of the Company received $1,500 per
month for service on the Board of Directors and $750 for each Board
of Directors' meeting attended and for each committee meeting
attended.

      In 1989, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the
Company adopted the 1988 Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan")
to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable
directors and to provide an incentive for such persons to increase
their proprietary interest in the Company's long-term success and
progress.

    Under the terms of the Director Plan, which is administered by
a committee composed of Burton A. Honig, Joseph Reid, the
Controller of the Company, and John A. Heinlein, the Treasurer of
the Company, options to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of
Common Stock may be issued to the directors of the Company.  The
Director Plan provided for the granting to each director of the
Company on June 1, 1988, or as soon thereafter as reasonably
possible, nonqualified options to purchase shares of Common Stock
("option shares") in an amount determined in accordance with the
following formula:






                    
         number of completed years of
1,500 X  service on the Company's Board + 1,500 = number of option
         of Directors through June 1,             shares
         1988




     In addition, 1,500 option shares will automatically be granted
to each of the Company's then serving directors on June 1 (or, if
June 1 is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day)
of each successive year commencing on June 1, 1989 and ending with
the last grant of options under the Director Plan on June 1, 1997. 
The option price of each option granted under the Director Plan may
not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date of grant, and no option may be exercised before the
first anniversary of the date upon which it was granted (the
"Vesting Date").  Options granted under the Director Plan, which
remain unexercised, expire upon the earlier of (i) the date which
is ten years from the Vesting Date, (ii) eight months after the
date the optionee ceases to be a director or (iii) one year after
death.  In the event of a change in control of the Company, as
defined in the Director Plan, all options become immediately
exercisable with respect to the full number of option shares.

     In June 1994, an automatic grant of 1,500 shares was made to
each of the Company's directors.

Employment Contracts.

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with David M.
Friedson, dated July 18, 1983, which has been amended from time to
time.  Under this agreement, among other things, Mr. Friedson was
employed for a five-year term, commencing July 18, 1983, which term
is automatically extended each year for an additional one-year
period unless written notice of an intention not to extend is given
by either party.  This Agreement provides for a minimum annual base
salary which, as of December 31, 1994, was $689,572, which amount
is subject to adjustment in subsequent periods according to changes
in the Consumer Price Index, in addition to other benefits.  If, at
any time during the term of the agreement, there shall be a change
in control of the Company, then Mr. Friedson shall have the option
of terminating his employment upon 60 days' notice and, in such
event, any outstanding options held by Mr. Friedson may be
exercised and sold without restrictions imposed by the Company, and
the Company shall pay Mr. Friedson a lump sum equal to three times
Mr. Friedson's then annual salary.  Such lump sum payment would be
in lieu of any compensation that would otherwise be due and payable
under this agreement.  In consideration for such lump sum payment,
Mr. Friedson has agreed to consult with the Company and its
officers after termination of his employment, if requested to do
so, for a period of four years from the date of such termination,
devoting such time to such services as Mr. Friedson believes to be
reasonable.

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with Belvin
Friedson, dated January 5, 1987, which has been amended from time
to time.  Under this agreement, among other things, Mr. Friedson
was retained by the Company to continue to serve as Chairman of the
Board of Directors and to serve as an advisor and consultant to the
Company for a five-year period which is automatically extended for
an additional one-year period unless four years' written notice not
to extend is provided by the Company or Mr. Friedson (the "Advisory
Period").  As of December 31, 1994, Mr. Friedson's annual
compensation was $314,990, which amount is subject to adjustment in
subsequent periods according to any increase in the Consumer Price
Index, in addition to other benefits.  During the Advisory Period,
Mr. Friedson is restricted from competing with the Company as set
forth in the agreement.  If at any time during the Advisory Period,
there shall be a change in control of the Company, then Mr.
Friedson shall have the option of terminating the Advisory Period
upon reasonable notice, and, upon such termination, the Company
shall pay Mr. Friedson a lump sum equal to the sum of the payments
to be made to Mr. Friedson during the Advisory Period discounted by
a factor of 10% for each year in which such payments are
accelerated.  Such payment would be in lieu of any advisory
compensation remaining to be paid under this agreement.

     The Company entered into employment agreements with Arnold
Thaler, Barbara Friedson Garrett and Harry D. Schulman
(collectively, the "Employees").  These agreements, as amended from
time to time, provide, among other things, for the employment of
Mr. Thaler, Ms. Garrett and Mr. Schulman as Executive Vice
Presidents, each for an initial term of three years, which terms
are each automatically extended each year for an additional one-
year period unless written notice of an intention not to extend is
given by either party.  Under these agreements, the Employees are
each entitled to a minimum annual base salary which, as of December
31, 1994, was $253,773 for Mr. Thaler, $243,607 for Ms. Garrett and
$209,702 for Mr. Schulman, which amounts are subject to adjustment
in subsequent periods according to changes in the Consumer Price
Index, in addition to other benefits.  If at any time during the
term of these agreements, there shall be a change in control of the
Company, then each Employee shall have the option of terminating
his or her employment upon 60 days' notice and, in such event, any
outstanding options held by the Employee may be exercised and sold
without restrictions imposed by the Company, and the Company shall
pay such Employee a lump sum equal to three times the Employee's
prevailing annual salary.  Such lump sum payment would be in lieu
of any compensation that would otherwise be due thereafter under
these agreements.  In consideration for such lump sum payment, each
Employee has agreed to consult with the Company and its officers
after termination of his or her employment, if requested to do so,
for a period of four years from the date of such termination,
devoting only such time to such services as the Employee believes
to be reasonable.

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to recommend to
its shareholders and directors that Lai Kin, the Managing Director
of Durable and of Ourimbah, be appointed as, and remain a member
of, the Company's Board of Directors for such time as Mr. Lai
continues to be an indirect shareholder of the Company and
continues to be employed by Durable and/or any other affiliate of
the Company.  Upon Mr. Lai's resignation or termination as Managing
Director of Durable, the Company has agreed to employ Mr. Lai as a
consultant to the Company and Durable and any of their affiliates
at a salary equal to 60% of Mr. Lai's annual base salary from
Durable in the fiscal year immediately preceding his resignation or
termination from Durable.  Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Lai will
be employed as a consultant for a three-year period which is
automatically extended by one year on the first day of the second
year of each three-year period unless two years' prior written
notice is given to terminate the agreement, in which event the term
of the agreement will be automatically extended for one additional
year beyond the expiration of the then current three year period.

     In April 1994, in connection with the  purchase by the Company
of 20% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Durable, which
resulted in Durable becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, the Company agreed, upon a Change of Control of the
Company (as defined in said agreement), to make an additional
payment to Ourimbah in respect of shares of Durable being purchased
under such agreement equal to the greater of (i) the same multiple
of earnings per share paid for the shares of Common Stock of the
Company received in connection with such Change of Control or (ii)
the same multiple of net asset value per share paid for the shares
of Common Stock of the Company received in connection with such
Change of Control.  In addition, the Company agreed to use its best
efforts to recommend to the shareholders and directors of the
Company that two individuals to be nominated by Mr. Lai and deemed
suitable by the Company be appointed as members of the Company's
Board of Directors.  The Company further agreed that the
composition of Durable's Board of Directors shall initially remain
equally divided between each of the present designees of Ourimbah
and persons selected by the Company.  Accordingly, for so long as
such designees of Ourimbah who are present members of the Board of
Directors of Durable (the "Durable Board"): (i) remains a
shareholder of Ourimbah, and (ii) Ourimbah remains a shareholder of
the Company, the Company shall vote its shares of Durable to
appoint such designees of Ourimbah to the Durable Board.  When any
member of the Durable Board who has been designated by Ourimbah
ceases to be a shareholder of Ourimbah, such designee shall no
longer be entitled to serve on the Durable Board, and the Company
shall have the right to designate a replacement member to the
Durable Board in its sole discretion.

     In 1986, the Company made a non-interest bearing loan of
$78,000 to Mr. Lai, a director of the Company.  The entire amount
of such loan was outstanding as of the date of this Proxy
Statement.

     During 1994, the Company made a series of personal loans
bearing interest at prevailing market rates to David Friedson,
President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. 
The largest aggregate amount of such indebtedness outstanding to
Mr. Friedson during fiscal year 1994 was $596,250.  The entire
amount of such loans, together with all accrued interest, was paid
to the Company by Mr. Friedson in November and December of 1994.

Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation" for a discussion of
the relationship between Felix Sabates, Top Sales and the Company.

                       RATIFICATION OF THE REAPPOINTMENT
                           OF THE COMPANY'S AUDITOR

     The Board of Directors recommends that the appointment of
Grant Thornton, independent certified public accountants, as the
Company's auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, be
ratified by the Company's shareholders.  Grant Thornton has audited
the books and records of the Company since 1976.  Although the
appointment of Grant Thornton as independent auditors of the
Company does not require ratification, the Board of Directors
considers it appropriate to obtain such ratification.  Accordingly,
the vote of shareholders on this matter is advisory in nature and
has no binding effect upon the Board of Directors' appointment of
Grant Thornton.  A representative of Grant Thornton is expected to
be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement, if he desires
to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions.

                                OTHER BUSINESS

     As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors
of the Company knows of no other business to be presented at the
Company's 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  If any other
business should properly come before the Company's 1995 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders, the persons named in the accompanying
proxy will vote thereon as in their discretion they may deem
appropriate, unless they are directed by a proxy to do otherwise.

                 INFORMATION CONCERNING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, proposals of shareholders intended to be
presented at the Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must
be received in writing by the Company's Secretary at the Company's
principal executive offices not later than December 12, 1995 in
order to be included in the Company's Proxy Statement and form of
Proxy relating to that Annual Meeting.

                              By Order of the Board of Directors
