The above advice is all good. Air compressors work fine if the tire and tube are seated properly and the pressure is regulated to not exceed the pressure you want.
The only problem with using them is if the tire is not seated correctly. They fill the tire so fast you won't have any warning if it starts to blow off. A hand pump is slow enough that you will have a chance to watch the tire as the pressure increases and stop if something is wrong before the tube ruptures.
