FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

            HMI Industries Inc. Anticipates Second Profitable Quarter

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 14, 2000... HMI Industries Inc. today reported net
income of approximately $250,000, or $.05 per share (diluted) and revenues which
approximated $8,500,000, for its first quarter results ended December 31, 1999.
This represents the second consecutive profitable quarter for HMI. On November
18, 1999 HMI announced profitable fourth quarter earnings for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 which marked the first time in sixteen quarters that HMI has
had profitable earnings from continuing operations.

"While our focus is on the implementation of strategic processes to improve top
line growth, we strive daily to continuously improve the quality of our
products, decrease product costs and reduce non-sales growth expenses. These
efforts have generated larger contribution margins and positive earnings," said
Mr. Malone, Chairman and CEO. "Developing a better trained and more
knowledgeable distribution network, increasing product awareness and brand
recognition, expanding the geographic and demographic markets in which our
products are distributed and sold and continuing to streamline processes and
lower costs are some of the initiatives identified as those that will make
forward progress and continued profits a reality".

and sale of high filtration portable surface cleaners, central vacuum cleaning
systems and portable room air cleaners. The company's high filtration portable
surface cleaner and portable room air cleaner are sold under the trade names

Some statements in this press release are forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially. Among
other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the
following: business and economic conditions; unanticipated costs; and other risk
factors listed from time to time in the company's SEC reports, including, but
