Abstract: The washer dryer is capable of suppressing discomfort or uneasy feeling for the user without causing increases in manufacturing cost and moreover enhancing the drying efficiency for laundry. A water tank 3 is placed in a housing 1. Within the water tank 3, a drum 4 for accommodating laundry is rotatably placed. Part of a drying system 6 for drying the laundry in the drum 4 is provided between the water tank 3 and the drum 4. As a result of this, without using any heat insulating material, it becomes possible to prevent an upper portion outer wall of the housing 1 from elevating in temperature and to confine at least part of radiation heat of the drying system 6 to within the water tank 3.
