Universal motor and household appliance with same

The embodiment of the utility model discloses a universal motor and a household appliance provided with the universal motor. The motor comprises a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator comprises a stator core and a field winding; the stator core comprises at least two salient poles rounding the rotor, and yokes connected with the salient poles; each salient pole comprises a pole body and a pole shoe; and the diameter of the rotor to the dimension of the stator in the height direction of the pole body ranges from 0.65 to 0.95. The embodiment of the utility model improves the power density of the motor, reduces the excitation magnetomotive force of the yokes of the stator, and lowers the difficulty in the stator field winding paying off technology.
