I know my TC5 also leans somewhat, I'll have to try to note how much as compared to yours on my next wash. But as you say, lean during use is common on this machine, and yours doesn't look particularly severe to me. The lean doesn't seem quite so noticeable during the spin cycles. Despite the...

I'm pleased to see that most members on a site dedicated to clothes washers seem to like clean clothes. :)
