Grizzly G0946 6-Inch Benchtop Jointer with Spiral-Type Cutterhead
The same benchtop as the G0945 with an insert cutterhead instead of knives, for about four dollars more. If you're choosing between the two, this is the one to get. It runs quieter, leaves less tear-out, and you rotate a dull insert rather than resetting knives.

The cheapest way into jointing that still does real work. It's a straight-knife benchtop with a 30-inch bed, and it's the machine people buy to find out whether they'll use one. Expect to spend an afternoon tuning it before it earns its keep.
