Measuring inverter output

I have a small (175) watt inverter that the PO used to run a small flat screen TV/DVD. I plug it in to my running Yukon and measure the output voltage with my cheapo Harbor Freight digital VOM set to the 200 V ACV scale. The reading I get is ~90. Does this mean the inverter is not putting out the correct voltage or is this an artifact of the the non sine wave output and/or the cheapo meter?
