Abstract

A laundry washing machine (1) has a washing agent dispenser device having a long operating autonomy, which comprises at least one container (9-11), adapted to contain an amount of a liquid washing agent sufficient for carrying out a plurality of treatment cycles, and delivery means (24), which can be controlled for taking dosed amounts of the washing agent from said at least one container (9-11) and delivering them to a washing tub. The machine (1) further comprises a movable support (8) for the container (9-11), said support (8) being displaceable, with respect to a corresponding seat, between an extracted position and a retracted position. Preferably, the seat is defined in a lower region of the fixed structure (2) of the machine (1), and the movable support (8) is configured substantially as a drawer. The container (9-11) is removably mounted on the movable support (8).
