The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes a bag storage compartment. 4. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle has an axis of rotation for which is generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base. 5. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle extends outwardly from the base in a generally horizontal direction when the receptacle is in the first position, and extends in a generally vertical direction when the receptacle is in the second position. 6. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, further including a lock for selectively securing rotation of the receptacle relative to the base. 7. The apparatus as defined in claim 6, wherein the receptacle is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge, and the hinge includes the lock. 8. The apparatus as defined in claim 7, wherein the lock includes a locking member which is movable between a lock and an unlock position. 9. The apparatus as defined in claim 8, wherein the lock further includes a first member secured to the base having a first inner profile and a second member secured to the receptacle having a second inner profile, the locking member having an outer profile being insertable within the first and second profiles, and selectively extending between the first and second profile when in the locked position. 10. The apparatus as defined in claim 9, wherein the locking member outer profile engages on one of the first and second inner profiles when in the unlocked position. 11. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the vacuum generating device is disposed within the base. 12. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes a trough in communication with the vacuum generating device. 13. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the base has a width transverse to its longitudinal axis, and the receptacle does not extend beyond the width of the base when in the second position. 14. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes a trough surrounded by a resilient material. 15. The apparatus as defined in claim 14, wherein the sealing device includes a heat sealing strip extending along the front of the trough. 16. The apparatus as defined in claim 14, wherein the receptacle includes a lid for selectively covering the trough. 17. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the base is supportable on a generally vertical surface, and the receptacle is disposed generally parallel to the vertical surface when in the first position and generally perpendicular to the surface when in the second position. 18. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes a lid movable between an open and closed position. 19. The apparatus as defined in claim 18, wherein the lid is selectively securable in the closed position by a lid latch. 20. The apparatus as defined in claim 19, wherein the lid latch includes an actuator rotatable between a first and second position. 21. The apparatus as defined in claim 20, wherein the lid latch further includes a linkage operably connecting the actuator to a catch, the lid including at least one engagable member, which selectively engages the catch upon rotation of the actuator. 22. The apparatus as defined in claim 21, wherein the catch is movable between a first position which does not engage the lid engagable member, a second position wherein the catch engages the engagable member such that the lid is retained in the closed position, and a third position wherein the catch pulls the lid toward a housing of the receptacle. 23. An apparatus for vacuum sealing a storage bag comprising: a base; a receptacle for receiving an end of a storage bag, the receptacle including a vacuum chamber for accepting the end of the bag, the receptacle being pivotally secured to the base by a hinge and rotatable relative thereto between a first and second position; the hinge including a lock for selectively securing rotation of the receptacle relative to the base, the lock comprising a locking member movable between a lock and unlock position, a first member secured to the base, and a second member secured to the receptacle, the first member having a first inner profile and the second member having a second inner profile, the locking member having an outer profile being insertable within the first and second inner profiles and selectively extending between the first and second inner profiles when in the locked position; a vacuum generating device disposed in one of the base or the receptacle; and a sealing device disposed on the receptacle for sealing the end of the bag. 24. An apparatus for vacuum sealing a storage bag comprising: a base; a receptacle for receiving an end of a storage bag, the receptacle being pivotally secured to the base and rotatable relative thereto between a first and second position, the receptacle including a vacuum chamber for accepting the end of the bag and a lid movable between an open and closed position, the lid being selectively securable in a the closed position by a lid latch, the lid latch including an actuator rotatable between a first and second position and a linkage operably connecting the actuator to a catch, the lid including at least one engagable member, which selectively engages the catch upon rotation of the actuator; a vacuum generating device disposed in one of the base or the receptacle; and a sealing device disposed on the receptacle for sealing the end of the bag. 25. An apparatus for vacuum sealing a storage bag comprising: a base engagable with a work surface for supporting the apparatus thereon; a receptacle component for receiving an end of a storage bag to permit evacuation thereof, the receptacle being pivotally secured to the base and rotatable relative thereto between a first and second position, the receptacle in the first position extending outwardly beyond the base in a generally horizontal direction and in the second position extending outwardly from the base in a generally vertical direction; and a vacuum generating device disposed in one of the base or the receptacle. 26. The apparatus of claim 25, further including a sealing device disposed on the receptacle for sealing the open end of the bag. 27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the receptacle includes a trough for receiving the end of the storage bag extending along a portion of a length thereof, and wherein the trough rotates with the receptacle. 28.
