Mine starts to draw a lot of current around 145VAC...  They aren't designed with a lot of margin. It's a price sensitive product, and they don't spend a penny more on iron than they need to.

Hook yours up to a ammeter and variac, and plot the current vs voltage.  You'll see a point where the current starts to rise much faster than the voltage.
