Grizzly G0958 8-Inch Combo Planer/Jointer with Helical Cutterhead

One machine that joints and planes, which is the whole reason to consider it. If your shop is small and you need both jobs done, this buys you the pair for the price of one. You pay for that with a changeover every time you switch modes.
