Abstract: The invention relates to a laundry appliance with a washing additive dispenser. The laundry appliance comprises a cabinet, a vessel for accommodating laundry, and a motor for rotating the vessel relative to the cabinet. The vessel is rotatably supported within a water tight enclosure. The axis of rotation is substantially horizontal and substantially parallel to a front panel of the cabinet. In an open condition, the cabinet provides access to the vessel via a vessel access area. A washing additive dispenser for dispensing additives to washing fluid contained in the water tight enclosure is positioned so that user access to the dispenser is located in the vessel access area.
