• an outer tub having a bottom wall and a side wall, and
• an inner tub disposed in the outer tub in radially spaced relationship therewith, the inner tub fixed to the outer tub and forming therewith a space having a lower water inlet and an upper water outlet;
• an oscillatable pulsator mounted above the bottom wall of the outer tub for rotation in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise directions about a vertical axis, the pulsator including vanes which generate radially outward streams of water during rotation of the pulsator, the water streams entering the water inlet of the space and exiting the water outlet thereof to fall onto clothes being washed within the inner tub;
• and
• a water swirling structure disposed in the space for causing the water to be discharged from the water outlet in generally the same direction as the direction of rotation of the pulsator.
