I can't recommend a make/model, but it's possible he might be able to get one on loan through either a health fund or public hospital, so try that first if it's not going to be for years.
The one we had a few years ago was bulky and noisy. Get extra facemasks, tubing and connectors - it's easier to uncoil tubing across a room than to move the whole unit and something will inevitably break or need a good clean. He'll still need some oxygen bottles on hand in case of failure and/or for mobility.
If he needs to be on it fulltime, he should, if possible, consider re-arranging his house/unit to minimise the distance he needs to move around. Even though the unit will be on wheels, you still need to unplug, move it and plug in again, so minimising that is worthwhile.
