Most devices made for use in the US work from 90-130 volts, more or less. In fact, over the years, the "standard" AC voltage in the US has varied from place to place. You will see references to 110V, 117V and 120V in older literature. I think most everyone standardized on 120VAC so that they could interconnect to form "the grid".
