That looks like a nice NX! Gansky1 is correct, those are "balloon-type" rollers; they would not have extracted well. You could replace the lower one with a firmer one off of a Model N.
The colors are right; I "think" these were made until 1969; that would explain the turquoise color (which came out in late, 1968).
These machines were supposed to be used to help Mrs. Homemaker move "up" to a Model N, J or E. There were a number of things that were different ...
no lid hanger on side of machine;
not available with a pump;
shorter power cord;
2 balloon rollers;
shorter agitator post (sheets, towels, large items, etc. would get caught over the agitator preventing the rest of the clothing receiving thorough cleansing) ...
They were used to entice people into their shop ... I believe they were advertised for $99 and were called the "Blue Bell".
Can you hear the sales pitch? "Why, Mrs. Homemaker, for only $30 more (or whatever), you could have a BEAUTIFUL white Maytag Model N that has all of the wonderful features on it; such as a pump, a place to hang the lid when wringing clothing, a full 72" of power cord to reach wherever your outlet it, etc.!
That was Maytag's primer gray color with enough "shine" to it.
