A cylindrical tub of an imperforate leakproof construction is supported on a frame for rotation about its longitudinal axis without the use of an outer stationary shell or case and is mounted with its axis fixed and inclined to the horizontal. The tub is loaded through an opening at its upper end and is unloaded through an opening in its lower end closed during a washing, rinsing or drying operation by a door hinged to the frame. A special dynamic seal between the door and tub permits rotation of the tub without leakage and a chamber in the door which is in communication with the tub through a perforated inside wall of the door provides a hydraulic action between the washing chamber and the body of free washing liquid in the door chamber to achieve an efficient washing action. The rotating tub is provided with internal lifting fins.
