Can you permanently install a portable dishwasher?

This is actually something that my father did successfully. It was easy. He just went to a home improvement store and found all the necessary pipe fittings to convert the hose(s) to the house Plumbing pipe(s) he was going to tie into, and found an outlet that was hidden(if you don't have an outlet, maybe you could conceal a heavy extension cord from someplace close), and he parked it in place, and built in the cabinet around it.
