I feel it is worth getting the cover that fits the product to help protect it better than just a towel or blanket thrown over it, or whatever reflective material you might use. The fitted cover helps to make the cooling of the fridge-freezer a little more effective and efficient; it's not just about the looks. It is nice and tight, so a little challenge at first putting it on (you want that!), but once you get it on the zippers work easily and smoothly.
The only slight disappointment was in the way it was shipped to me; just rolled and wrapped and taped in plastic, which with the way shippers handle packages, had some big tears in the "protective" plastic wrap, exposing the Go20 cover in a couple of places. It did not damage the cover, but gave it very black dirt/greasy marks in a few places...bummer when you pay full price, but it still works, works well, and I'm grateful to have it!
