I wish I had known about this when I lived in a place without a dishwasher! I tried an external dishwasher but it was a pain to hookup to the sink every time and the capacity wasnβt big enough make the hassle worthwhile.
It definitely can be done Due to the room and the constraints I had. I built it to be self contained. Also took steps to make sure it would not flood or spill over onto the floor. I had a mini washer in my apartment and I had a problem with it backing up into the sink. I am all about building necessities to avoid human contact.
