The invention discloses a household appliance and a head-oscillating control method thereof. The household appliance comprises a motor and a head-oscillating mechanism, wherein the motor is connected with the head-oscillating mechanism so as to drive the head-oscillating mechanism to rotate; a setting module, which is used for receiving command information sent by a user, wherein the command information comprises at least one of the head-oscillating angle range of the head-oscillating mechanism, the center point of the head-oscillating range, and the initial point and the terminal point of the head-oscillating range, and the head-oscillating speed; a drive module which is connected with the motor; and a control module, wherein the control module is connected with the drive module and the setting module, and generates control signals according to the command information sent by the user so as to control the drive module to drive the motor to rotate. According to the household appliance and the head-oscillating control method thereof, the head-oscillating angle and speed of the head-oscillating mechanism can be adjustable through the low cost and simple control method, and the problem of quick reversing when head-oscillating is carried out at high rotation speed can be solved.
