A suspension (1) of a washing machine has a mechanical assembly resting on the bottom of the cabinet (3) by means of a lower cushion including plates (5 and 7) and shock absorbers (6) and a liquid containing casing (4). The suspension system (1) is intended to absorb the movement of the mechanical (wash group) assembly during a centrifugal spin, reducing the transmissibility of forces/movements to the external cabinet (3), while the liquid containing casing provides a cost-effective counterbalance within the system.
