[origin: WO2020187638A1] The present invention relates to a laundry-care appliance (100) having: an appliance housing (102) which has a housing upper side (102-1) and a housing lower side (102-2) facing away from the housing upper side (102-1), the laundry-care appliance (100) having an upper appliance region (100-1) which faces the housing upper side (102-1) and/or a lower appliance region (100-2) which faces the appliance lower side (102-2); at least one receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2, 107-3) which is accessible to the user from an external region (105) of the laundry-care appliance (100) and is situated in the upper appliance region (100-1) and/or in the lower appliance region (100-2); an outer tub (109) for accommodating washing liquid, the outer tub (109) having a discharge opening (111); a pump (117) for conveying the washing liquid; a first pipe (113) which connects the discharge opening (111) fluidically to the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2, 107-3); and at least one filter element (121) for filtering washing liquid. The filter element (121) is situated in the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2, 107-3) and is designed to filter washing liquid conveyed through the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2, 107-3). The laundry-care appliance (100) has a second pipe (115) which connects the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2, 107-3) fluidically to an external region (105) of the laundry-care appliance (100). The pump (117) is designed to convey washing liquid out of the outer tub (109) through the first pipe (113) into the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2) and to convey the washing liquid filtered by the filter element (121) out of the receiving chamber (107, 107-1, 107-2) through the second pipe (115) into the external region (105) of the laundry-care appliance (100).
