The Mini-Foot Pump is appealing simply because its smaller then a coffee mug or an oil container (946ml). And can easily be stored under the seat or in a dark corner where its out of the way.
Now to be honest when I opened the package I was concerned because the pump looked suspiciously flimsy, but it does state modern engineering (they name German specifically) made this pump possible.
Now as far as that goes I am not sure about this pump however I am certain that it works surprisingly well and it does inflate a bike tire in under one minute...if you put the gusto into the pumping to make that possible.
The upside of this system is that it uses your power and the surrounding air so you are no relying on the bike to have enough juice or on the air can to have enough pressure to fill your tire. There is only one maintenance advise the pump comes with which is to disassemble it once a year and lube it up with silicone lube. Which we have not gotten to as off yet but it shouldn't be to much of a chore.
As far as the price is concerned it usually goes for about 16 bucks but can be found on sale for less which not only makes it convinient in my eyes but also fairly cheap.
