We have both, the one in the bedroom is plugged in & makes it's own oxygen from the air. The other one is small & on wheels to take along with us.

Look around Ebay for cheap generators from China.

My grandmother had a machine for her oxygen.. I'm guessing it was a generator.  I never paid much attention.  In the last 10 years or so of her life, she was constantly connected to it.  She had cylinders for going out, but she didn't go out often. I remember at a family get together, we offered to move her chair out onto the doorstep so she could stay with the rest of the family outside, but she refused
