An objective of the present invention is to provide a washing machine capable of avoiding deceleration or stop of rotation of a washing drum even when laundry is unevenly placed in a washing tub and effectively avoiding an operation time delay by reliably and rapidly removing the unbalance of the washing tub during a dehydration operation. A baffle of the washing machine (1) in the present invention, which serves as a balancer, includes: a partition portion (71) for suppressing a flow of adjusted water (W) that is injected from a top end (Id) side by a water injection device (1c) toward a base end (1e) side so that the adjusted water (W) retains at the top end (Id) side; and an outlet portion (72) for discharging the injected adjusted water (W) from the base end side (1e) of a washing drum (1b).
