Actually, I didn't find that number so odd. Voltage will drop the further you are from the feeding transformer (as the wire length increases, so does the resistance). That's why many appliances and machines will operate within a range of voltage -- if I remember correctly, somewhere around 20% below or above the nameplate rating.
