PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a washing/drying machine which makes a drying process possible without use of an air blower otherwise installed in the air circulation path. SOLUTION: The washing/drying machine includes a rotary tub 4 where objects to be washed is housed, the air circulation path 5 which is made to communicate with the rotary tub 4 and in which air for drying the objects to be washed flow, a heat pump device 6 provided in the course of the air circulation path 5 and a filter 11 provided on the upstream side of the air circulation path 5. A motor 3 mounted on the rotary tub 4 for driving is given a blowing function and makes the air circulate between the rotary tub 4 and the air circulation path 5 to dry the objects to be washed. For example, the motor 3 for driving may be a fan integrated motor so formed as to have a fan 3b pivoted on the other end of a rotating shaft 3a, thereby the blowing function is easily given.
