Default Hand warmers not warm?

Just wondering who else is experiencing this issue. I am driving a 2017 RX350 loaner and the hand warmers are much warmer than my 450h F Sport. The 450h F Sport hand warmers are nearly useless.

Keep in mind this is a $200 option.

My old 3rx was better. 4rx fsport needs help, but it's ok. Seats are warmer in the 4rx than 3rx

$200 option? LOL. That tells me not to expect much. They are only supposed to get warm.

$200 standalone option is only for hand warmers. The problem is that they are barely getting warm. My hands would warm up faster if I sat on them.

Another $200 option is the touch-free power door. Would you expect it to only open half-way then?

Just out of curiosity, are both your 450h and loaner 350 built in Canada?

Yes, both are built in Canada. Both have cold weather package, though I doubt that has any effect.

Thanks. I was just wondering if there was a trend where those from one factory tended to be warmer than from the other.
