Has anyone ever bought a water dispenser in Japan?

My wife and I currently use a Brita water bottle that you have to refill and put in the fridge, and while it's nice, now that summer is here and temperatures are so high, I find that it's not enough since we consume so much water. By the time we refill it and want to drink, the water has not had time to cool down. This is why I am thinking on investing in a water dispenser this year.

My main issue is that, each time I look online, since content is in Japanese, I am not sure I understand fully what is explained. My Japanese is not bad, but maybe not enough to completely get what is explained, and while using the translation of Chrome helps, I find that sometimes it is not completely clear.

I have found 2 models that seem interesting: One called Every Frecious, and another one called Locca. They both have a mini version, which I would prefer since I can put it on a counter. Though I do have space for the tall version, so I am not totally closed to the idea, I am just not sure what are the advantages. Do the tall ones contain more water? In which case, I would prefer that.

I am also not sure if I understand correctly, but all I can find, is ways to "rent" them. Is there no way to directly buy one? I know the initial cost might be higher, but I am not really fond of the idea that I get something and it does not belong to me. Unless there are advantages in renting them that I do not completely understand?

Of course, if some people have found models other than the two above, I am more than happy to get your feedback, and the pros and cons. Let me know if after buying (renting?) one, you were satisfied with it.

Thanks!
