Installing Mac OS on Multiple Macs

[Syphon]

I am thinking of upgrading my iMac at home to Yosemite possible next weekend.
Also plan to upgrade my mother's and possibly brother's Mac minis later but both have slower broadband than me.
Last time I upgraded mom's Mac, it took five hours to download and really don't want to go through that again.

So, I came upon this article on how to download the upgrade from Mac App Store and be able to copy installer to a usb drive.
Have anyone here tried this?

Yes, I've done it many, many times. Works like a champ.
