Hoover's instruction manuals, as far back as the model N (1915) told the owner to make sure their line voltage was "within 10%" of the stated motor voltage.
I have a friend in Ohio (Mike) who lives in a home more than 100 years old. His voltage coming into his home was about 100 volts. He always wondered why the Dyson I sold him had less suction at his home, and more in mine. I lived in a new home at the time, and was getting 120 volts coming in. | ||

Simply shocking Looking at the guts of my Hoover 105, I have no doubt that it'll handle 110v-125v. It's simple. No computers. No chips. Old world heavy construction. I'd have to think that voltage regulation is a whole lot better than it was 80 years ago. | ||
