Ask the motor manufacturer.
In addition to running slower, the motor probably does not have enough iron to
produce enough power, and will likely overheat and trip the thermal protection.
As far back as the 1950's, US service members in Europe and the UK (then
separate) were using their own home appliances on 120-to-240V
transformers with few problems. Many of those I served with in Germany
between 1966 and 1983 had their appliances shipped over and back again,
too.
It's still possible today's more cost-conscious and less conservative
designs might not be able to stand the excess current.
