ODORUN, a hardware product company based in Newport Beach, California, today announced it will launch its debut product, the ANS-01RM, on Kickstarter on July 14, 2026. The cordless, rechargeable ANS-01RM 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 bad-smell problem that has followed the toilet for centuries.
According to ODORUN, current methods such as ceiling fans, sprays, and filters are ineffective. Fans dilute odor into the room, sprays mask it with another scent, and filters recirculate the same air. ODORUN captures odor at the bowl and vents it outside before it reaches the room. “Fans spread it. Sprays mask it. Filters recycle it. ODORUN removes it,” the company stated.
The ANS-01RM offers instant freshness with no lingering odor, is chemical-free with zero added health risk, features a touchless wave on/off with auto shut-off at 90 seconds, and requires simple DIY-friendly installation. It is refill-free with no cartridges or ongoing cost. ODORUN describes it as an upgrade for the bathroom that lasts a lifetime. A video introduction is available at www.odorun.com.
“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 opens on July 14, 2026, marking the public's first opportunity to back and pre-order the ANS-01RM. Details and updates are available at www.odorun.com.
