You can. Just plug it into a step-down voltage transformer box. They are not very expensive. About $85 or so. You want one with double the wattage of the vacuum you are running. But they aren't that expensive so you can just buy a big wattage one and not have to worry.

This listing shows the model sticker, and it says 120v. Is this the one you're talking about?
Otherwise, the rest of them are in the UK, and will need 240v. Either using a step-up transformer like Husky suggested, or just wire up a 240v outlet in your home. Not that difficult. CLICK HERE TO GO TO MadMan's LINK on eBay |

I have one of those, it was a gift from a friend.
They were made in the UK and sold in the US. The US version is 120 V, it take a C bag. One of these days I'll find the attachment set for it.
