Yes and yes. Just takes more pumps when operated manually vs the manual versions only.

I own an air operated Pitbull dyna model and it does the same thing. Just takes a lot of pumps. I also own the J&S non air version too and it pumps faster.

I have a J & S manual jack. Strong, stable enough for me to climb on the bike while it's in the air, no straps, and lowers very gently. I don't have experience with the air lift, but I can't imagine it performing poorly.
