In a preferred case, the clothes rack 8 includes a rack for carrying clothes and legs extending downward from the peripheral bottom of the rack in the circumferential direction, and the legs are closely abutted against the lower edge of the inner wall of the inner tub 2 so as to catch the clothes rack 8 at the bottom of the tub. As an example, the above-mentioned clothes rack 8 may be a metal clothes rack 8 having legs with a certain elastic deformation capability. In this case, the inner tub 2 rotates to drive the clothes rack 8 to rotate together to shake off the clothes. Meanwhile, the differential speed of the impeller 3 and the inner barrel 2 can be controlled to be active, so that the air turbulence between the bottom of the clothes and the bottom of the inner barrel 2 can be increased while the bottom of the clothes is uniformly blown, and the drying and air washing efficiency of the clothes is improved.
