The invention relates to a home appliance, in particular washing and/or drying machine (1), comprising a detergent feeding device (2) having at least one detergent storing compartment (4) for storing a detergent, the at least one detergent compartment (4) comprising: an outlet (12) for a detergent and water mixture, and a pivoted partition element (14) arranged in the detergent compartment (4), wherein in a first position the partition element (14) separates a partial compartment (34) in the detergent compartment (4) from the outlet (12) for storing an amount of liquid detergent in the partial compartment, and wherein in a second position the partition element (14) provides passage from the partial compartment to the outlet (12). According to the invention in the first position the partition element (14) is inclined with respect to the bottom (6) of the detergent compartment (4), such that from the first position the partition element can be pivoted to the second position only in one pivoting direction and wherein the pivoting path of the partition portion (16) of the partition element (14) from the first to the second position is partially situated in the partial compartment (34).
