ODORUN, a hardware product company based in Newport Beach, California, announced today that it will launch 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 ever reaches the room. The company describes it as the world's first toilet odor extractor, built to solve a problem that has persisted for centuries.
According to ODORUN, current methods of managing bathroom odors are inadequate. Ceiling fans simply dilute odors, sprays mask them with artificial scents, and filters recirculate the same air. The ANS-01RM, by contrast, captures odor at the bowl and vents it outside, preventing it from entering the room entirely. The company emphasizes that it is a genuine game changer, with installation taking about an hour and providing a permanent solution to bathroom odors.
Key features of the ANS-01RM include instant freshness with no lingering odor, chemical-free operation with zero added health risk, a touchless wave on/off mechanism with auto shut-off at 90 seconds, simple DIY-friendly installation, and no need for refills or ongoing costs. The device is designed to be a lifelong upgrade for any bathroom.
Michael Huang, founder of ODORUN, explained the inspiration behind the product: '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? 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, set to open on July 14, 2026, will offer the public the first opportunity to back and pre-order the ANS-01RM. More details and updates are available at www.odorun.com. A video introduction of the product is also available on the company's website.
This launch represents a significant shift in bathroom odor control technology, addressing a longstanding issue with an innovative, source-level solution. The ANS-01RM's ability to remove odors at the source without chemicals or ongoing costs could set a new standard for bathroom hygiene and comfort.
