GE at our restore today

Yup, I don't like it when a tub tilts or rust happens on SQ. Also another issue I've noticed with SQ is the sudsing. My LG has the same issue as well but I'm still happy I bought it over a SQ. But I never had that problem with GE or even my Kenmore. This particular model lasted for a good long while.

Why would a SQ be any more likely to rust than any other washer? If you're speaking of the tub, I thought those were 300 series stainless steel with a lifetime warranty against rust. I know someone who had a solid tub model, and the SS tub still looked new when they got rid of it after 20 years.

Not saying it's guaranteed to happen but if I were to soak my clothes overnight, I'd rather not take the risk.

Distinction must be made between the outer tub and inner basket. SQ has a porcelain outer tub. The inner spin-basket is SS. The second link above shows that the outer tub is rusting, not the basket.
