To provide a washing machine capable of easily measuring the state of washing liquid without largely changing the structure of a circulation route.
The washing machine includes: an intake 5 which is connected with the bottom of an outer tub 2 and fed with washing liquid; a circulation route 9 which has an end connected to the intake 5; a discharge port 8 which communicates with the other end of the circulation route 9 and discharges the washing liquid into a washing tub 3; a washing liquid state detecting means 10 which detects the state of the washing liquid inside the washing tub 3; a circulation pump 15 which fetches the washing liquid to the circulation route 9 and discharges the washing liquid from the discharge port 5 into the washing tub 3; and a filter 14 which removes floating particles between the intake 5 and the circulation pump 15. The washing liquid state detecting means 10 is installed between the intake 5 and the filter 14.
