Over All Rating Reviews : There isn't much I can say, that others haven't already said. I have owned mine for a little over 2 years. This is a great lathe, and for most users, will probably be the last lathe you will ever need or want. It's rock solid and runs very quiet. Powermatic and Jet are both owned by WMH Tool Group, and everything I have heard or read indicates they provide outstanding customer service.
Some oddities, that might be a bit confusing...such as the "spindle length" claims, are easily resolved by downloading the users manual. The manual makes it clear. "Working distance between centers" is 31-1/2" without the bed extension. You can safely slide the tailstock over the end of the ways a little bit, and gain a couple more inches.
The 220V circuit should be a dedicated one, with it's own circuit breaker. Amperage draw will be less than 7 amps at 220V.
I didn't use the leveling feet. Instead, I set the legs directly on my shop floor, which is very flat concrete. The height is just right for me. Most guidelines recommend adjusting the height (or standing on a platform) so your tool arm is at approximately 90 degrees. It's worth experimenting to find the most comfortable height for you.
Also, do a Google search for "The Mustard Monster Site". That site includes lots of shared experience and knowledge about the lathe, and how to take advantage of all the 3520b's features.
