Yes. The electronic inverter circuit is what is creating the AC output and this can be carefully controlled to give a clean and consistent output. High end online type uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems designed to protect sensitive computer equipment work in a similar way to take power from the wall outlet or its batteries to always make clean power.

The other advantage to inverter generators is that they can slow down the engine when less power is needed. This saves a lot of fuel and makes them less noisy most of the time. Normal AC generators need to always run a full speed to provide the proper output frequency.
