Automotive foot pump?

I saw an automotive foot pump at a store and was wondering how long it takes to top off a care tire with one of these? For example, pumping enough air to get your tire from maybe 30psi to 32-35psi. Do they require a lot of strength (in addition to muscle) as well? I normally just go to a service station, but am curious. It may be a good backup that won’t wear out like the portable compressors can.
