Claim 14:
15. A home appliance configured to adjust temperature through heat exchange with an outside using a refrigerant, the home appliance comprising:
a horizontal type rotary compressor configured to compress the refrigerant, wherein the horizontal type rotary compressor includes:
a case configured to store oil, and including an inlet and an outlet,
a compression device configured to compress refrigerant introduced from the inlet,
a driver disposed at a first side of the compression device and configured to drive the compression device,
a first plate configured to divide an inside of the case into a first area in which the driver is disposed, and a second area in which the compression device is disposed, the first plate including:
a discharge hole through which compressed refrigerant is discharged from the compression device to the first area, and
a first hole formed at an upper side of the first plate, through which the compressed refrigerant flows from the first area to the second area, and
a second plate dividing to divide the inside of the case into the second area and a third area which communicates with the outlet, and the second plate including:
a second hole formed at an upper side of the second plate, through which the compressed refrigerant flows from the second area to the third area,

wherein a lower end of the first plate and a lower end of the second plate are spaced apart from the lower surface of the case to form an oil flow path along the lower surface of the case extending from the first area and under the first plate to the second area, and extending from the second area and under the second plate to the third area.
