PURPOSE: A washing and drying machine is provided to improve reliability and durability by preventing rotational vibration of a rotary tub from being transmitted to a heat pump device. CONSTITUTION: A washing and drying machine is composed of a water tub(3) elastically supported in a housing(1); a rotary tub(5) rotatively installed in the water tub to receive clothes; a heat pump device for connecting a compressor, a radiator(32) for radiating heat of the compressed refrigerant, a throttle unit for decompressing pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant, and an endothermic unit(30) for making the low-pressure refrigerant absorb heat from the peripheral side by a pipe to circulate the refrigerant; furnaces(31,33) for flowing the air to the endothermic unit and the radiator of the heat pump device; a blowing unit(12) for supplying the air heated by the radiator into the rotary tub through an air passage formed in the water tub; and a flexible connection unit for linking the furnace and the air passage.
