Abstract
Disclosed herein is a top-loading type washing machine which includes a drum including a drum body opened at upper and lower sides thereof, and a drum base coupled to the lower side of the drum body, a hub fixed to the drum base, an upper balancer installed to the drum body, for reducing vibrations generated when the drum rotates, and a lower balancer fixed to one of the hub and the drum base, for reducing vibrations generated when the drum rotates. The top-loading type washing machine can effectively remove eccentricity or vibrations generated during the rotation of the drum, since the lower balancer is installed at the lower side of the drum.
