The invention relates to a washing 
machine. The washing 
machine comprises a tank, a spraying arm and a power 
assembly, wherein the spraying arm is arranged in the tank, and the power 
assembly is connected below the spraying arm. The washing 
machine further comprises an 
air pump and an air guide 
pipe, wherein the 
air pump is arranged at the outer side of the tank, the air inlet end of the air guidepipe is connected with the 
air pump, the output end of the air guide 
pipe extends into the spraying arm, an air collecting cavity connected with the output end of the air guide 
pipe is arranged in the spraying arm, and air guide channels extending towards the direction of water outlet holes of the spraying arm are formed in the air collecting cavity. For the washing machine, the guide channels can guide the added air, so that the added air is rapidly sprayed out from the water outlet holes after generating a 
cavitation effect with a 
water flow and generating air bubbles in the 
water flow, then the 
cracking failure of the air bubbles caused by the excessively long conveying flow of the 
water flow is avoided, when the water flow mixed with the air bubbles is sprayed to bowls and dishes, theair bubbles in the water flow crack after contacting the bowls and dishes and generate a relatively large 
impact force, so that the stubborn 
dirt on the bowls and dishes or vegetables and fruits is scattered, and then a very good washing effect is achieved.
