One rationale for the production of these machines is space saving. A combination machine takes up much less space than the equivalent separate machines.

Even though top end combination machines can be quite expensive, there usually is a cost saving over separate machines of similar quality.

“... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“No advantages in this world are pure and unmixed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
