Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a home appliance, in particular laundry treatment apparatus, dish washer, dryer or washing machine, comprising a liquid guiding device (41) having an inlet (52) and an outlet (54) and defining a liquid passage area (C, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) for passaging the liquid. The liquid guiding device (41) is adapted to guide liquid from the inlet (52) to the outlet (54). The outlet (54) is adapted to direct the liquid to a component of the appliance and/or to a predefined location of the appliance. The liquid passage area (C, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) of the liquid guiding device (41) is increasing in a first cross section dimension (D1) and is decreasing in a second cross section dimension (D2) along the flow direction (56) from the inlet (52) to the outlet (54) in a way such that the liquid passage area (C, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) is not decreasing from the inlet (52) to the outlet (54).
