Portable, sink-hookup dishwashers for use in Europe?

Looking for sink hookup dishwasher for use in Europe!

I'm on the lookout for a portable dishwasher in Austria, but starting to realize that I really don't want to install splitter valves and drill holes in cabinetry in an apartment that I'm going to leave in 3-6 months (that, and I dont even know if I *could* do the plumbing without access to the main shutoff valve). It seems that most of the portable dishwashers out here require plumbing. Can you find me any that I can just attach to my sink?

(Side note: I saw this thingy: http://www.carocelle.com/ ), which looks pretty info-mercial-y, but if it works, I'm interested. Anyone encountered one of these in real life? Also, for 4 place-settings, it seems to use 10 gallons of hot water per go, but no electricity. Is this environmentally brutal, or not so bad, given the no-electricity part (of course, energy to pump and heat water counts)?)

Response by poster: Followup question: Are portable dishwashers in the US that run off of the sink actually different from portable models that run off of under-sink plumbing, or is it just a question of adapters and what-not? Seems like there are sink adapters that create the 3/4" normal looking hookup you'd want under your sink...so can I just get one of these adapters and get whatever dishwasher I want?
