Default Where to get a good iphone mains charger?

Ive looked on Amazon and read the customer comments and there not good, most say " worked for 2-3 days then stopped working" or "used for one week and sparks started coming from the wall socket"

So im asking whats best to buy? or is the Apple one not THAT expensive?
