PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discharge discharged water from a washing container and overflowing water from a water storage tank to the outside of a machine collectively by utilizing a narrow space at the rear part of the water storage tank. SOLUTION: A discharge flow path unit 60 in a flat shape, which is thin in a depth direction, is provided on the rear wall surface of a tank housing case body 40. Inside the discharge flow path unit 60, an overflowing water flow path 613 communicating with the inside of the water storage tank 31, a discharged water flow path 615 communicating with a drain pipe from the washing container, and a merging chamber 612 where both flow paths 613 and 615 are merged are provided, and the flow path is continued from the merging chamber 612 to a drain hose connecting port 617. Ribs 618 and 619 extended into the merging chamber 615 are provided on the connection part of the discharged water flow path 615, the overflowing water flow path 613 and the merging chamber 615, and buffer spaces 612a and 612b are provided in the space inside the merging chamber 615 further. Thus, water powerfully flowing through the discharged water flow path 615 efficiently enters a merging port 616 after being discharged to the merging chamber 615 and back flow to the overflowing water flow path 613 is evaded.
