A washing machine with a drier having a washing machine body, a drier carrier mounted on the washing machine body and a drier body carried by said carrier. Almost whole part of the front surface of the drier carrier is concaved rearwardly to provide a concaved curved front surface. The upper end of the front surface of the drier carrier, which is flush with the fron surface of the drier body, is retracted rearwardly from the lower end of the front surface of the drier carrier which is flush with the front surface of the washing machine body. The rear end of the drier body is projected rearwardly from the rear surface of the drier carrier.

A washing basket adapted to be incorporated in a washing machine having a hydroextracting function. The washing basket, which is provided at its bottom with a pulsator, has a plurality of protrusions formed in its inner peripheral wall. Each of the protrusions has an arcuate cross-section whose ridge is directed toward the center of the basket, and is extending in the vertical direction along the inner peripheral wall of the basket. A plurality hydroextracting apertures are formed in each of grooves which are formed between the adjacent protrusions.
