Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018028951A1] The invention relates to a laundry treatment device (1, 11), in particular a washing machine or a washer-dryer, having a housing (2, 12), an outer tub (3, 13) arranged movably inside the housing (2, 12), and an inner tub (4, 14) which can rotate inside the outer tub (3, 13) about a transverse axis (5, 15) running transversely to a vertical axis of the laundry treatment device (1, 11). According to the invention, in order to reduce the noise caused by operation of a laundry treatment device (1, 11) of this type, the outer tub (3, 13) is supported via at least two adjacent damping units (6, 16), which are spaced apart from each other in relation to the transverse axis (5, 15) and of which at least one damping unit (6, 16) has an adjustable damping property, and via at least one additional damping unit (7, 17), which is offset in the circumferential direction from the adjacent damping units (6, 16) in relation to the transverse axis (5, 15) and has a constant damping property relative to the housing (2, 12).
