ODORUN, a hardware product company based in Newport Beach, California, today announced the launch of its debut product, the ANS-01RM, on Kickstarter on July 14, 2026. The cordless, rechargeable device mounts to a standard toilet and extracts odor at the source before it reaches the room, offering what the company describes as the world's first toilet odor extractor. This innovation aims to solve a problem that has persisted for centuries, providing a permanent solution to bathroom odors.
Traditional methods of odor control, such as ceiling fans, sprays, and air filters, have significant limitations. Ceiling fans merely dilute odors into the room, sprays mask them with artificial scents, and filters recirculate the same air. In contrast, the ANS-01RM captures odor at the bowl and vents it outside, eliminating the smell entirely before it can spread. As ODORUN states, 'Fans spread it. Sprays mask it. Filters recycle it. ODORUN removes it.'
Key features of the ANS-01RM include instant freshness with no lingering odor, a chemical-free operation that poses no health risks, a touchless wave on/off mechanism with an auto shut-off at 90 seconds, simple DIY-friendly installation, and no need for refills or ongoing costs. The company emphasizes that this is a long-term upgrade for any bathroom.
'We're a small hardware team, and this product came out of a simple question: why has bathroom odor control barely changed in decades, while almost everything else in the home has gotten smarter?' said Michael Huang, founder of ODORUN. 'Fans and sprays were never designed to pull odor out of the house at the source. ODORUN is the first product built to actually do it.'
The Kickstarter campaign, opening on July 14, 2026, marks the first opportunity for the public to back and pre-order the ANS-01RM. Details and updates are available at www.odorun.com. The introduction video can be viewed on the company's website.
This launch represents a significant advancement in home hygiene, offering a solution that goes beyond temporary fixes. By addressing the root cause of bathroom odors, the ANS-01RM could set a new standard for bathroom ventilation and odor control. For consumers seeking a chemical-free, effective, and permanent solution, this product presents a compelling option.
