The invention discloses a washing machine which comprises a machine body, an outer barrel and a drainage valve. The outer barrel is arranged inside the machine body. The drainage valve is arranged on the machine body and comprises a valve body. A water inlet and a water outlet are formed in the valve body. A water inlet pipe is arranged on the water inlet and communicated with the outer barrel. The end face of the free end of the water inlet pipe forms a first inclined face extending in an inclined mode. According to the washing machine, due to the fact that the end face of the free end of the water inlet pipe of a water inlet valve is arranged to be the first inclined face extending in the inclined mode, the overall height of the drainage valve can be reduced, the drainage valve can adapt to the internal space structure of the washing machine, and then the structure of the washing machine is more compact.
