Yes. It is safe, but in order to determine whether or not you'll be able supply enough power to run your Bissell carpet cleaner off of a power inverter like the # WC3720 , you'll need to check the device for it's power requirements- there is usually a sticker on the unit near where the plug goes into the machine that has its electrical specs on it. This sticker will have a required number of watts to power the appliance- If the number of watts required for your electronic device is not listed on the item itself, the number of watts can be determined by multiplying the number of amps by the number of volts (amps x volts = watts). Since this inverter puts out power at 115v you'll need to use that number in your calculation.
Typically a 1000 watt inverter can run items like:
Laptop Computer
Video Game Console
Large Screen TV
Printer/Computer/Fax
Single Range Electric Stove
Microwave
Small Refrigerator
Power Strip
Coffee Maker
Hair Dryer
The long and short is that your inverter should be able to power your Bissell carpet cleaner, but you'll want to double check it's power requirements to be 100% sure.
