<p>The invention relates to a domestic appliance, such as a steam iron or a coffee making apparatus. Such appliance comprises a housing, a water reservoir, an actuator, for example, plunger pump and a boiler for providing hot water or steam for an appliance. An input of the plunger pump is connected to the water reservoir, an output of the plunger pump is connected to an inlet of the boiler. In operation, the plunger pump is reciprocating at the mains frequency. The operating plunger pumps introduces vibrations which are transmitted to the housing and radiated by the housing to the environment which cause sounds and noise which are not user friendly and environment friendly. In order to reduce the sound induced by these vibrations the domestic appliance is provided with two leaf springs mounted at opposite sides of the actuator for moving the actuator in a direction opposite to a direction of the movement of the drive member.</p> |
