A household machine, in particular dishwasher, washing machine, beverage dispenser or the like, wherein a fluid distributor unit (1) comprises at least one fluid inlet (16) for the inflow of a fluid and at least one first and one second fluid outlet (20, 23) for the outflow of the fluid and at least one adjustable distributor element (22) for distributing the fluid to the fluid outlets (20, 23), wherein at least one adjusting unit (13, 25) is provided for adjusting the distributor element (22), which at least partially improves the prior art, in particular is more energy-saving and/or more cost-efficient compared to the prior art, and preferably realizes a noise reduction, which improves the comfort for the user. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the adjusting unit (13, 25) has at least one reciprocating piston unit (13, 14, 25) with a reciprocating piston (13) which can be adjusted in a cylinder unit (14).
