Can a cheap inverter dissipate such peaks because of the capacitor?
I don't think so...

3uF parallel to 220V mains, no problem, but why do you ask?

Usual 220v mains yes, but not a square wave inverter.

I made this because a person on youtube wondered what happens if you plug on of those Chinesium thing into one.

where do you see 700Watt at the capacitor. run simulation slower and you can calculate watt(t) at about 1200Watt but this will be only a problem for the inverter and not for the capacitor, at least not at this low frequency

Yes, I dunno why I wrote that, I meant to say 700 watt peaks caused by the capacitor
