They are much cheaper than a separate printer and scanner for one rather obvious reason (other than the fact that they share the same box and some of the internals) and that is the scanning resolution is lower than a decent photo quality scanner and the printer usually uses a combined ink cartridge and doesn't produce photo quality prints. The print speed is usually lower as well.
Don't forget - check the cost of ink cartridges as most of them have blocked the use of third party (cheaper) options.
However if you only want to print the odd document and scan for record purposes they will meet your requirements and take up less space

I wouldn't move to Sheffield (as my previous employer found out when they tried to move me from Poole to Sheffield)

This is sometimes quicker and easier than scanning into Documents and then printing off.
It's not the cost of the machine that is the issue - it's the price of the inks when you have used the provided ones (which are always only half full anyway).
If you are going to get one then buy one with separate colour cartridges as they are not so wasteful. Epson inks tend to be best priced. HP are quite pricey.
I have an Epson DX3850 which is still working perfectly about 3 or 4 years and in the life of these machines it's not bad as they don't always last very long before heads or something or other packs in.

I do find the copy facility of my Canon MP190 very useful.

I rarely use this too but it is occasionally handy as there are companies who will not accept emails but will accept faxes. This happened to us when we had an insurance claim a good while ago so it's nice to know that it is within the functionality of the computer if necessary.
