To reduce oscillation transfer force to a floor surface by improving an anti-oscillation bearing mechanism.
In a washing machine body 1, a tank 11, a spinning teel 13 controlled freely rotatably around the axis of a horizontally rotational shaft 49 by a driving motor 51 in the tank 11 and an anti-oscillation bearing mechanism 17 are provided. The anti-oscillation bearing mechanism 17 has an anti- oscillation bearing mechanism body 23, and on one side of it, an attenuating bearing part 25 is supported on the tank fixing side, to absorb horizontal oscillation perpendicular to the axis of the rotational shaft 49, and on the other side, an attenuating bearing part 27 is supported on the base plate fixing part side to absorb horizontal oscillation perpendicular to the axis of the rotational shaft 49. The attenuation power of the attenuating bearing part 27 on the base plate side is made smaller than that of the attenuating bearing part 25 on the tank fixing side to decrease the around-axis dynamic moment load in the longitudinal directions which is generated by the oscillation component in the horizontal direction to work as an oscillation increasing force in the vertical directions, in order to decrease the oscillation transfer force to the floor surface 7.
